Chelsea’s first-team stars have suffered further ignominy after they drew to a developmental squad in a practice match at their training ground.
The youth team equalised with the last kick of the game in a 3-3 draw on a shortened pitch, in a match played over four quarters.
It comes in the aftermath of a clear-the-air meeting at Cobham on Monday just 24 hours after the chastening 6-0 loss to Manchester City.

The Blues’ defeat on Sunday was their worst ever in the Premier League and caused further questions to be raised regarding the future of manager Sarri.
