Chelsea came from behind to beat Real Betis 4-1 and win the Conference League in Poland on Wednesday night.

The Blues fell behind inside nine minutes when Isco teed up Abde Ezzalzouli, with the winger producing a smart finish to beat Filip Jorgensen. 

Betis had further chances to extend their lead before the break, leading to Enzo Maresca taking action as he threw on captain Reece James at half time. 

Maresca's men came out with renewed purpose in the second half and drew level with 25 minutes to go as Enzo Fernandez headed home Cole Palmer's teasing cross. 

Six minutes later, the turnaround was complete as Palmer twisted away from his man and crossed for Nicolas Jackson to provide the finishing touch, before Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo wrapped up the win with late goals.

So, who delivered on the biggest stage? And who had a night to forget? Mail Sport's JACK GAUGHAN was on hand in Wroclaw to rate the players.

REAL BETIS

Adrian 6 - Lightning off his line in sweeping up when the La Liga side were leading. Could the ex-Liverpool stopper have done better for the equaliser?

Youssouf Sabaly 6 - Dealt very well with Noni Madueke, standing the winger up, but looked tired and leggy when faced up by Jadon Sancho later in the piece.

Marc Bartra 6 - Still a classy customer in tracking space at 34, the former Barcelona central defender had been imperious until losing Enzo Fernandez’s run.

Natan 6 - Hugo block to deflect a Reece James rocket wide as Chelsea ramped up the pressure after half time. Probably ought to know Nicolas Jackson was behind him for the second.

Ricardo Rodriguez 6.5 - Willing runner down the left, always available for an overlap. Didn’t seem overly troubled defensively by either Pedro Neto or Madueke.

Pablo Fornals 6.5 - While Malo Gusto’s loose pass was indefensible, the awareness of Fornals to turn possession over high up the pitch was crucial in the opening goal.

Johnny Cardoso 5.5 - Didn’t seem to have any issues whatsoever in the opening period but lost his bearings later on when his side surrendered territory.

Marc Bartra (centre) was unable to track Fernandez's run for Chelsea's equaliser

Isco 7.5 - Had been running the game in a masterful way until Chelsea took over. Lovely reverse pass, perfectly weighted, to set Abde Ezzalzouli away for the first goal.

Antony 4.5 - A huge amount of hype around the Manchester United loanee beforehand yet he flattered to deceive and was anonymous all night.

Cedric Bakumbu 5.5 - Went missing after some neat link-up play when dropping off the front, most notably when laying off for a rare Bartra break into the Chelsea final third.

Abde Ezzalzouli 7 - Super finish right across Filip Jorgensen for the opener and was the most dangerous on the pitch before being forced off with an injury.

Subs

Romain Perraud (for Rodriguez, 46) - 6

Jesus Rodriguez (for Ezzalzouli, 53) – 5

Aitor Ruibal (for Bakambu, 72) – 6

Giovanni Lo Celso (for Cardoso, 85)

Manager 

Manuel Pellegrini 5.5 - Could have become the oldest manager ever to lift a European trophy but didn’t respond sufficiently when the tide was turning after half time.

CHELSEA

Filip Jorgensen 6 - Not actually that much to do – especially as Chelsea exerted more control later in the game. Could do nothing about Ezzalzouli’s finish.

Malo Gusto 4 - Spelt his name wrong on the test. Absent without leave as Ezzalzouli flashed past Jorgensen. Gave the ball away in the build-up and never recovered.

Trevoh Chalobah 7 - New England man calm enough when under pressure and made some crucial interceptions. Might have used the ball better and quicker.

Malo Gusto had a nightmare first half and was replaced by Reece James at the break

Benoit Badiashile 7 - Huge block to bail out Gusto when preventing Cardoso from doubling the Betis lead midway through the first half. Put himself on the line.

Marc Cucurella 7.5 - Manfully stuck to his task on the Chelsea left, up against an in-form Antony. Perhaps should have inverted as a full back rather than Gusto.

Moises Caicedo 7 - Labelled the ‘best midfielder in the (Premier) League’ by Steve Sidwell on TNT beforehand, Caicedo couldn’t get near Isco. But then improved hugely, scoring in stoppage time.

Enzo Fernandez 8 - Started on the periphery. But somebody with 20 goals and assists this season was always going to have a say. Big header to equalise and a late assist.

Noni Madueke 6.5 - Threatened to produce when haring towards the byline and did pose a real danger, although got very little change out of his markers.

Cole Palmer 8.5 - Showcased his pure class. Kept coming really deep to pick up possession in attempting to impact the game and eventually ended up with two exquisite assists.

Pedro Neto 6.5 - Industrious largely off the right wing without producing that killer ball to feed Nicolas Jackson or any runners from the middle of midfield.

Nicolas Jackson 7 - Starved of any real service early on so when scraps arrived, Jackson was a little rushed in trying to manufacture something. Then came his moment, chesting home.

Moises Caicedo had a difficult start but grew into the game and scored Chelsea's final goal

Cole Palmer stepped up when his team needed him as he registered two brilliant assists

Subs

Reece James (for Gusto, 46) - 7

Jadon Sancho (for Neto, 61) – 7.5

Levi Colwill (for Badiashile, 62) – 6.5

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (for Jackson, 80)

Marc Guiu (for Palmer, 88)

Manager  

Enzo Maresca 6.5 - Realised he picked the wrong team to begin with and rectified it at half time with the introduction of James, which gave Chelsea impetus to turn the game around.
