Chelsea stunned by Estonian side in Europe
Reggie Watson competing against Flora Tallinn in Estonia

Chelsea have been knocked out of the Uefa Youth League by Estonian side Flora Tallinn.

In a major upset at Cobham Training Centre on Wednesday afternoon, the visitors twice came from behind to win 3-2 after drawing the first leg on home soil last week.

Chelsea opened the scoring through winger Mathis Eboue, who cut inside and scored just 94 seconds into the match.

However, winger Sander Alamaa equalised on the break, having scored both of Flora's goals in the first leg.

Forward Ibrahim Rabbaj replaced defender Alfie Osborne at half-time and scored within two minutes, getting on the end of a cross from Eboue to restore Chelsea's lead.

Yet midfielder Marten Kukkonen levelled again nine minutes later before Alamaa secured the win from the penalty spot after defender Tayo Subuloye conceded a spot-kick in the 78th minute.

It was the second penalty Chelsea had conceded across the two legs, having also gone down to nine men in the Estonian capital last week.

Chelsea made their remaining four substitutions and created several chances in an attempt to take the tie to extra time.

Instead, the two-time winners of Europe's premier youth club competition suffered a shock exit in front of first-team manager Xabi Alonso, with two of his recent debutants Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli and Reggie Watson having both started.
