Fenerbahce stun Blues

02 January 2008
Avram Grant's men were leading through an own goal by Deivid in the first half and could have extended their lead before Kazim-Richards came on in the 54th minute.
His goal came 10 minutes later and Deivid added a spectacular second, leaving Chelsea needing to win at Stamford Bridge next week to reach their fourth semi-final in five years.
Hostility erupted every time Chelsea enjoyed possession, then home fans urged Fenerbahce forward when they had the ball. It could hardly be said that Chelsea silenced the home fans as they were as noisy after the opener as they were at kick-off.
How the visitors threw it away will frustrate Grant as it was a first-half masterclass from Chelsea in playing away from home in Europe.
Their opener, however, came from a huge slice of luck.
Michael Ballack dummied the ball for Florent Malouda to chase down the left flank, his cross was powerful and low but not heading towards a team-mate - and Deivid shanked the ball past goalkeeper Volkan Demirel and into the near post.
But for all of Chelsea's pressure, Kazim-Richards was brought on and grabbed the equaliser in the 65th minute, latching onto Aurelio's through-ball and smashing past Carlo Cudicini.
Deivid's goal came nine minutes from the final whistle. He picked the ball up 35 yards out and sent it whistling into Cudicini's top corner.
Nicolas Anelka was brought on for Chelsea but the jeers, and the defeat, made it a forgettable return to his former club.
