While both players were earning their first pre-season starts under Maurizio Sarri, Abraham has featured in all games the Italian tactician has overseen since his taking to the helm.

The striker thought he had scored in the 56th minute when he rose highest to meet Davide Zappacosta's far-post cross, but watched it sail agonizingly wide off target.

Moses made way for Lucas Piazon after 68 minutes of action while at the same time, Abraham was replaced by Olivier Giroud.

After the scoreline remained deadlocked at the blast of full-time whistle, Eden Hazard stepped up to decide the ensuing penalty shootout which his side edged 5-4 with the vital last kick after Pape Diop had missed for the visitors.
