While Chelsea's Nigerian duo of Kenneth Omeruo and Ola Aina were not among the traveling party to Nice for the cracker, Victor Moses and Tammy Abraham were afforded game time from the bench.
It could mean Maurizio Sarri is planning to use Abraham as the back up front man for Alvaro Morata after the Italian opted to replace the Spaniard with the 20-year-old for the second consecutive game, bringing him on after 65 minutes here.
And it is no longer news that Super Eagle Victor Moses will be playing in his natural attacking right wing position after he made his pre-season bow there, coming on for Pedro Ledesma in the course of the second half.
Abraham went close to finding the net four minutes after entering the fray, making a smart turn in the box before firing a shot from the edge of the box but Samir Handanovič was quick to gather.
Moses and Abraham both scored from the spot in the straight shoot-out which ensued as Chelsea saw off their opponents 5-4.
