Shevchenko was playing in a bid to improve his fitness, having been out for nearly two months with a back problem, but he failed to shine.

The Ukraine striker, who joined for a club record £30.8million in 2006, showed how far he has fallen since his time at AC Milan as he was playing in front of a few hundred spectators at Griffin Park.

He had only one notable effort on goal in injury time, but he headed the ball over the bar.

Shevchenko was not the only senior player to struggle as Steve Sidwell and Claudio Pizarro, who are no longer in the club's Champions League squad, also toiled.

Reserve-team coach Brendan Rogers said: "It is difficult for senior players to come in and show a great attitude because of where they are normally playing at."

Chelsea's £3.4m Argentine striker Franco di Santo scored Chelsea's goal - his first for the reserves.
