Hot Cole inspires Blues to land Euro glory

- John CROSS in Wroclaw

CHELSEA toasted a magical night as they lifted a ninth European trophy.

The Blues overwhelmed Real Betis with a sensational second-half come-back to win the Europa Conference League.

Amazing

Cole Palmer inspired the fightback with assists for Enzo Fernandez and then Nicolas Jackson as Real Betis surrendered a half-time lead.

Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo scored late goals to help Chelsea complete a full set of European trophies.

Chelsea captain Reece James said: "It's a great feeling. As the game went on we grew into it and thankfully we scored four goals in the second half.

"Coming into this competition was something we had to win. Next season we go again in the Champions League."

Chelsea defender Levi Colwill said: "It has been amazing. We have achieved everything we wanted to do.

It feels amazing winning my first European competition with Chelsea, hopefully many more to go.

"And getting Champions League for next season, I don't think you can get any better than that."

FOR so much of this match it was all about one of football's European greats.

That was until Cole Palmer stepped up to steal the show and write another chapter in Chelsea's glorious history.

Palmer set up Chelsea's first two goals with wonderful assists for Enzo Fernandez and then Nicolas Jackson as Chelsea completed a clean sweep of European trophies.
