However, Chelsea quickly turned the game around after the break. Gallagher, who had not scored in the Premier League this season, equalized with a well-taken volley from a Malo Gusto cross.

The defining moment came in the final minutes of the match when Gallagher struck again, scoring his second goal to secure the win.

Enzo Fernandez added a late breakaway goal to seal the deal for Chelsea.
