WATCH: Kepa dinked by Dinamo Zagreb after replacing Mendy for Chelsea's Champions League opener

  • Dinamo cut Chelsea apart with counter-attack
  • Orsic beat Kepa with ease
  • No. 1 Mendy watched on from bench

WHAT HAPPENED? Raheem Sterling gave the ball away cheaply in the final third, and Dinamo Zagreb pieced together an incisive counter attack that was finished beautifully by Orsic with a deft dink over Kepa's reach.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Orsic finished past Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was preferred to the out-of-form Edouard Mendy in goal for Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel said the decision was injury-related, though the normal Blues No. 1 was still fit enough to feature on the bench.
