10-MAN CHELSEA STUNNED AS FLAMENGO PULL OFF COMEBACK WIN
Goals from Bruno Henrique, Danilo and Wallace Yan saw Brazilian side Flamengo come from behind to beat 10-man Chelsea 3-1 and move top of Group D in the FIFA Club World Cup at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia.
Pedro Neto fired Chelsea ahead within 13 minutes when he neatly controlled a clearance to dart forward into the box and slot past Agustin Rossi, with Enzo Maresca's side looking to be cruising to the top of their group.
Flamengo continued to look for the equaliser and were denied on the stroke of half-time when Levi Colwill performed an inch-perfect goalline clearance to ensure his side went into the break ahead.
The Brazilian side were again denied an opportunity when Gonzalo Plata failed to connect with Gerson's shot after capitalising on a mistake in Chelsea's backline, before Robert Sanchez was forced to pull off a fingertip save to tip over Plata's shot from inside the box.
Flamengo would eventually level the clash when sub Bruno Henrique poked home Plata's goalward header in the 62nd minute.
Filipe Luis' side would take the lead just three minutes later when Danilo tucked home Bruno Henrique's header in almost identical fashion to their opener, before things took another turn as Nicolas Jackson, who had only just come onto the pitch, was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Ayrton Lucas, which would see Chelsea reduced to 10 players with 20 minutes remaining.
The three points were sealed in the 83rd minute when Wallace Yan connected with Plata to find the bottom-right corner and score his first goal for the Brazilian side and move them top of Group D.
Chelsea face ES Tunis in their final group match as they look to progress to the knockout stages, whilst Flamengo could qualify for the knockout stages if LAFC fail to pick up three points against ES Tunis.

FILIPE LUIS: MY HEART IS WARM BECAUSE OF THIS VICTORY
Speaking to DAZN after the game, Flamengo boss Filipe Luis said he was "proud" of his players as his team overcame a 1-0 deficit against the Premier League side.
"I'm really happy for the win," he said. "We believed since the beginning of the game, we believed we had chances in the game and I'm really proud that we didn't stop playing, we kept playing the same way we always play so I think my heart is warm because of this.
"Bruno [Henrique] is special. He's the player with the most titles in the club's history and it doesn't matter if he plays one minute, five minutes or 90, he always gives you his heart and I'm really happy for him."

FLAMENGO PULL OF REMARKABLE COMEBACK TO STUN 10-MAN BLUES IN PHILADELPHIA
When Pedro Neto slotted home in the 13th minute, Chelsea appeared to be heading into cruise mode against the Brazilian Serie A leaders but a never-say-die attitude shown by Filipe Luis' side saw a remarkable comeback in Philadelphia.
A nightmare eight minutes saw Flamengo not only equalise through a little fortune for Bruno Henrique's goal but move into the lead through Danilo, before Nicolas Jackson was shown a straight red card just seconds after coming off the bench.
There was also the clear difference of a side in the middle of their season versus a side who have had a few weeks away from action.
Three points for Flamengo saw the Brazilian side move top of Group D in what could have a massive impact on who they play in the knockout stages.
With Los Angeles and ES Tunis playing later on Friday, Chelsea will have to wait to find out what they will need to do in their final group game in order to progress but they could have made things a lot harder further down the road, with the runners-up set to play the winners of Group C, which could likely be either of Benfica or Bayern Munich.

It would be quite the comeback from Chelsea at this point and that's one chance wasted as Noni Madueke sees his free-kick fly over the crossbar.

NIGHTMARE SIX MINUTES FOR CHELSEA
They looked to be in control for so long but this has taken a complete 180 and Chelsea is shell-shocked.
