Rob Green was Chelsea’s hero, as they edged past Lyon 5-4 on
penalties in the International Champions Cup on Tuesday night, after a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge.
All three of Chelsea’s ICC games had gone to a shoot-out.
The Blues won against Inter but lost against Premier League rivals Arsenal, when Ruben Loftus-Cheek was denied by Petr Cech.
Substitute stopper Green blocked Pape Diop’s penalty after four perfect kicks apiece, before Eden Hazard was able to confidently stroke home the winning kick.
It ensures Maurizio Sarri ends pre-season on a victorious note, ahead of the Premier League start this weekend.
