Bertrand Traore scored a lovely goal for Vitesse Arnhem yesterday – while Christian Atsu was also on target – but they still lost to Cambuur 4-3.
Chelsea have plenty of great players at the club – but perhaps most frightening is the amount of great talent they have out on loan.
Many of those players are currently with Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem. In fact it is a subject of much controversy in Holland. It was recently alleged by former chairman Merab Joordania that Chelsea did not want Vitesse winning the Eredivisie – as they did not want their farm club playing Champions League football.
These rumours have coincided with a run of poor form which has seen Vitesse practically hand the title to Ajax.
And that poor form continued yesterday – in some style as well.
Two Chelsea players got their names on the scoresheet. Christian Atsu, a young Ghanaian signed from Porto in the summer slotted in an equaliser for 2-2 before half-time.
Meanwhile wonderkid Bertrand Traore scored an absolute screamer to make it 3-2.
But Vitesse lost the game to unfashionable overachievers Cambuur.
They lost the game 4-3 leaving them behind Feyenoord and Ajax in the title race.
