video: AFC Wimbledon 2 – 3 Chelsea [Pre-Season] Highlights

The Blues were undone by an Alan Bennett header inside 40 seconds before Matt Tubbs crashed a penalty past Mark Schwarzer.

Terry pulled one back for his side and Mohamed Salah levelled things up with seven minutes left on the clock.

Only for Terry to grab the glory – after a summer spent on holiday instead of at the World Cup – and help his side keep face.

The opener stunned the travelling fans at Kingsmeadow. Chelsea conceded a harmless looking early corner but when George Framcomb whipped it in and Bennett out-jumped the Premier League side’s defence Chelsea were stunned.

The visitors had plenty of the ball for the remainder of the first-half but it was largely passed along the back-four and occasionally lent to midfielder anchorman Nemanja Matric who all-too-often played it safe or sidewards.

AFC then produced another shock when they doubled the lead with six minutes of the half left. An ideally lofted pass into Tubbs allowed the tireless forward to control the ball and cut across Kurt Zouma in one movement that left the centre-back perplexed.

Down went Tubbs and Zouma should have got his marching orders as he was clearly the last man but no cards were shown, clearly due to the games ‘friendly’ status.

The only thing Chelsea fans had to smile about, based on Saturday’s performance, was their occasional witty song about Akinfenwa’s hulking figure.
