Radamel Falcao’s first appearance for Chelsea help the Premier League champions see off Paris St. Germain.Jose Mourinho was delighted after the game praising the on loan blues man (Radamel Falcao).
Falcao looked sharp after replacing his former Atletico Madrid strike partner Diego Costa, who was involved in a running battle with
PSG full-back Serge Aurier at the Bank of America Stadium.
He stepped up to score his spot-kick in the shoot-out as the Blues registered their first win of pre-season following Wednesday’s dramatic 4-2 defeat in New York at the hands of the Red Bulls.
Zlatan Ibrahimovich had fired PSG into a first half lead before Victor Moses levelled after the break, the former Crystal Palace winger slotting home from Cesc Fabregas’ cracking centre.
Mourinho, however, was full of praise for Falcao who looked sharp and full of movement while also defending Costa.
“He isn’t as tired as the others, the others have done 10 days. He’s just done two. He has just arrived, trained two days, so he has the sharpness and no fatigue. It was good for him to come in and score in the shootout, “ said the Portuguese.
