Celtic inflicted a 4-1 defeat on Chelsea in their pre-season friendly at Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana.<\/b><\/p>\n
The Scottish Premiership champions took the lead with Matt O’Riley’s calm finish from Greg Taylor’s pass, before O’Riley turned provider for Kyogo Furuhashi to double their advantage before half-time.<\/p>\n
Chelsea had more possession and produced more shots at goal, but Celtic’s new goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was in impressive form to deny the Premier League side a route back into the game.<\/p>\n
Celtic stretched their lead in the 76th minute as Luis Palma capitalised on a defensive mix-up by Robert Sanchez and Benoit Badiashile to roll in their third goal.<\/p>\n
Palma then added an assist three minutes later as Mikey Johnston fired under Sanchez to add gloss to the scoreline for Celtic.<\/p>\n
Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku beat Celtic’s substitute goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo from the penalty spot to claim a late consolation.<\/p>\n
The result on Saturday meant Celtic backed up their recent win against Manchester City<\/a> to end their US tour with another victory over Premier League opposition.<\/p>\n Chelsea have yet to win under new manager Enzo Maresca, who joined from Leicester City in June.<\/p>\n They could only draw 2-2 with League One newcomers Wrexham<\/a> in midweek and face Mexican side Club America in their next friendly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
