What a miss. Chelsea striker misses a mega chance in EFL Cup match. VIDEO

Chelsea is playing an away match in the EFL Cup semi-finals against Middlesbrough.

Pochettino's team had more possession in the first half. However, it was the hosts who opened the scoring quite unexpectedly. In the 37th minute, Hayden Hackney opened the scoring. In stoppage time, Chelsea had a chance to get back into the game. Enzo Fernández struck from outside the penalty area in the third added minute of the first half, the Middlesbrough goalkeeper saved in front of him, Cole Palmer was the first to finish and missed the empty net from a few yards.

A few minutes later, he had another opportunity, but the goalkeeper saved in that situation as well. In general, Palmer had a very unconvincing half and missed several opportunities to score.
