Less than 10 minutes had gone in the first half when Real Madrid fans were given a real fright against Chelsea. It all started after an error by Casemiro.
The Brazilian wanted to play with his heel near the Chelsea box, but he lost the ball and Mount countered at speed.
He reached the edge of the Madrid box after a great run and put the ball in. It hit a defender and landed in the box for Pulisic's head. He laid it off to Werner who was unmarked and had the whole goal to aim at.
But the German striker let Madrid off. Some would some Courtouis made a fine save as the Belgian saved with his foot, but Werner's shot was too central and he really should have scored.
