Chelsea Beaten on Penalties by Charlotte Following a 1-1 Draw
Chelsea midfielder, Conor Gallagher’s awful Panenka penalty proved quite decisive as Chelsea lost on penalties to MLS side, Charlotte after playing out a 1-1 draw in full time.
Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling made his debut as the men from the King’s Road failed to win in the Queen City against a spirited Charlotte FC on the second match of their three-game US tour.
The £47.5m arrival from Manchester City scored his spot-kick but a miss from Conor Gallagher, who passed his penalty down the middle only for a motionless Pablo Sisniega to make the decisive save, saw the MLS side prevail for the biggest win in their short history.
American Christian Pulisic gave the tourists a first-half lead with a home-turf chip but a last minute penalty prompted spot-kicks, with the home side prevailing 5-3 in front of a delirious 52,673 crowd.
