Valencia put Laliga crisis behind them to earn their first UCL win against Chelsea



Valencia gate-crashed Frank Lampard's managerial bow in the Champions League by earning a 1-0 win at Chelsea on Tuesday after Ross Barkley spurned a chance to equalize by missing a penalty three minutes from time.
Barkley took the penalty after a debate with Jorginho and Willian but missed as Chelsea fell to defeat.
"I don't know what the conversation was, but Jorginho and Willian were the takers on the pitch. When Ross comes on, he becomes the penalty taker and he missed it," Lampard said after the game.
Spain forward Rodrigo Moreno gave the visitors the lead against the run of play in the 74th minute of the Group H game, getting the slightest of touches on a free kick from Dani Parejo to send the ball into the roof of the net. Source[ESPN]
