Victor Moses fires Chelsea to Europa League final




Super Eagles’ striker, Victor Moses continued his scoring form for Chelsea as the Blues beat their visitors Basel 3-1 for a 5-2 aggregate on Thursday to clinch a UEFA Europa League final in Amsterdam on 15 May where they will face SL Benfica.
However, While Moses featured for the entire 90 minutes of the game, his Nigerian teammate, Mikel Obi was not listed for the game after picking up a hip injury during training.
Fernando Torres, Victor Moses and a stunning David Luiz strike ended the London side’s anxieties after Mohamed Salah had brought FC Basel 1893 level on aggregate on the stroke of half-time.
Basel took the lead on the night in first-half injury time when Mohamed Salah broke the offside trap before curling the ball past Petr Cech.
However, Chelsea hit back five minutes into the second half as Fernando Torres tapped in the rebound after Yann Sommer had saved Frank Lampard’s initial effort.
The home side then went ahead three minutes later when Victor Moses showed persistence to calmly slot in from close range.
Their progress was sealed on the hour in exquisite style thanks to David Luiz’s strike from 25 yards that found the top corner.
In the other semi-final, Super Eagles’ captain, Joseph Yobo could do little as Benfica quickly wiped out the 1-0 first leg defeat to Fenerbahce thanks to Nicolas Gaitan.
A controversial Dirk Kuyt penalty levelled the scores on the night and gave the Turks a precious away goal.
Oscar Cardozo confirmed his spectacular form this season by bagging a brace to put Benfica 3-2 up on aggregate.
