Overview

• Alejandro Garnacho made his first Chelsea start in the Carabao Cup at Lincoln and was substituted around the hour mark after earlier brief cameos this season.
• Chelsea came from behind to win 2-1, with Tyrique George equalising and Facundo Buonanotte scoring the winner to send the club into the next round.
• Enzo Maresca said Garnacho had taken his chance, and explained the winger stayed on the bench at Old Trafford because a defensive change was required when Wes Fofana asked to come off.
• Garnacho received boos throughout the tie at the LNER Stadium following a hostile reception on his recent return to Old Trafford.
• The Argentine posted on Instagram that he was happy to advance and was eager to play at home on Saturday, as he continues to compete for minutes against the likes of Pedro Neto, Tyrique George and Jamie Gittens.
