Chelsea suffered a shock defeat to Dinamo Zagreb on the opening night of their UEFA Champions League campaign on Tuesday.
Mislav Orsic’s first-half strike earned Dinamo Zagreb a 1-0 victory over the Blues.
Thomas Tuchel’s side were caught napping in 13th minute as Orsic ran from his own half, latching onto a ball from strike partner Bruno Petkovic, to outpace £70m signing Wesley Fofana before dinking the ball over Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The hosts soaked up huge Chelsea pressure before stealing the lead, but held onto their advantage resolutely, staving off a late onslaught as chances for Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech went begging.
Chelsea went closest via new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, on his Blues debut, who had the ball in the back of the net just minutes after half-time, only for the effort to be disallowed.
Ben Chilwell had edged marginally offside from Mateo Kovacic’s diagonal pass, leaving his low ball across for Aubameyang’s tap-in to count for nothing.
