Blushes for Blues after Nevland strikes

It looked as if John Terry had spared Chelsea's blushes when he popped up on his first appearance of the season to score the goal which made this first round tie 4-4 on aggregate but leaving the Premiership team ahead on the away goals rule. But Nevland, who made only two appearances in as many years while on loan at Old Trafford, scoring one goal, struck the winner with only four minutes remaining and Claudio Ranieri's men crashed out to lesser opposition just as they had to St Gallen two years ago and then Hapoel Tel Aviv last term.

Ironically, Terry, who was handed his first start of the season, was at fault for the opening goal when he conceded a free-kick on the left flank.
