(Video): Chelsea's double deflected goal which gives Blues lead in quarter final

Chelsea are back ahead in the Club World Cup quarter final, and are now just a few minutes from the semis! It's come from a Malo Gusto cross after the full back found himself high up the pitch after a corner and their opposition failed to push up quickly enough. Advertisement Palmeiras got a huge slice of luck when Robert Sanchez let Estevao Willian's shot in over his head at the near post to level the game. Now it was Chelsea's turn to get some luck. Weverton was caught out by the deflection that the ball took off a defender, and the keeper totally failed to react to the change in direction. He froze, the ball clipped him and went in. You've got to feel a little for the Brazilians here – this meant so much to them, and it was a sad way to go out. You can see the goal in the clip embedded here: [Footage from DAZN] Chelsea face major semi challenges after injuries and suspensions Malo Gusto celebrates a quarter final goal. (Photo by) Advertisement It was another pretty impressive gritty win from Chelsea, who certainly had a wobble when Palmeiras scored in the second half. The goal was not the prettiest, but it got the job done. They had looked really impressive earlier in the game, even without Moises Caicedo. But they couldn't sustain that level for 90 minutes. Once again, there's a strong sense that bad goalkeeping was a serious factor here. Liam Delap and Levi Colwill picking up yellow cards to create suspensions for the semi, plus unknown injuries to Reece James and Benoit Badiashile make things very interesting against Fluminense indeed. Tonight is about celebrating, but there will be a lot of thinking for Enzo Maresca to do in the next few days
