Chelsea came from behind to secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory over League One side Lincoln City in the third round of the Carabao Cup. The win at the LNER Stadium was a welcome result for the Blues, who had endured a difficult week with consecutive defeats in the Premier League.
The hosts, managed by Michael Skubala, took a surprise lead just before halftime when Rob Street capitalized on a defensive error to fire Lincoln into a one-goal lead. The goal sent the home crowd into a frenzy and put immense pressure on Chelsea and their manager, Enzo Maresca.
However, Chelsea responded emphatically after the break. A stunning turnaround saw the visitors score twice in a two-minute spell. Tyrique George leveled the scores in the 48th minute with a powerful strike, and Facundo Buonanotte secured the winner in the 50th minute, ensuring Chelsea's passage to the next round of the competition.
