Chelsea came from behind to defeat Real Betis 4-1 in the final of the UEFA Conference League on Wednesday night.

The Blues came into the game as huge favourites to win the trophy.

But it was Betis who began quickly and took an early lead.

Isco found space inside the box to set up Abde Ezzalzouli to squeeze the ball past Filip Jorgensen.

However, it was a game of two halves, as Chelsea took complete control of the second 45 minutes.

Enzo Fernandes, who captained the team on the night, headed in the equaliser, before Cole Palmer set up Nicolas Jackson to head Chelsea in front.

The Premier League side added two more goals through Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo.

Enzo Maresca’s men, who clinched Champions League spot last weekend, have now finished the season with silverware.

They are also the first club to win the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
