Since the news of Chelsea returning to MU emerged, Sancho has continued to shine. On April 11, Sancho scored two assists to help Chelsea beat host Legia 3-0 in the first leg of the Conference League quarter-finals. Returning to Stamford Bridge, the former Dortmund star continued to be a hero with a goal to help Chelsea escape defeat.

From the start of the match, Chelsea took the initiative to push forward and create many opportunities. Nicolas Jackson even hit the post in the 9th minute, but the lack of luck from the attack and the excellent form of goalkeeper Alex Palmer prevented the home team from opening the scoring early.

In that game, Ipswich Town unexpectedly punished the opponent's wastefulness. In the 19th minute, Julio Enciso seized the opportunity in the penalty area, coldly kicked the ball to open the score. In the 31st minute, the gap was doubled when Benjamin Johnson ran down to head the ball into the goal. VAR intervened but the goal was still recognized, to the astonishment of the home fans.

Early in the second half, Chelsea were fortunate to reduce the gap when Axel Tuanzebe scored an own goal in an attempt to block a cross from the right. Despite having more possession and constant pressure, “The Blues” were still stuck in the finishing phase.

However, in the 79th minute, Sancho, who had just been brought on from the bench, immediately created a moment of genius. Receiving the ball on the edge of the penalty area, the English star unleashed a beautiful long-range shot into the top corner, leaving goalkeeper Palmer rooted to the spot, tying the score at 2-2.

At the end of the match, Chelsea continued to press the field, but the shots of Cole Palmer, Chalobah and Pedro Neto were all denied by the Ipswich defense and goalkeeper.

In the end, the 2-2 draw caused Enzo Maresca and his team to miss the opportunity to return to the top 4 of the Premier League. After 32 matches, the London team temporarily ranked 5th, 1 point behind Man City. Chelsea need to be careful when Aston Villa or Newcastle are ready to overtake at any time.
