Pre-Season Friendly: MLS All-Stars 3 Chelsea 2
Thierry Henry and David Beckham combined to help MLS All-Stars beat Chelsea in Philadelphia.
The Frenchman’s cross was missed by John Terry and Chris Wondolowski had the time to open the scoring for the American side after 20 minutes.
The Blues skipper made up for his error 11 minutes later, heading home Frank Lampard’s header.
The provider turned goalscorer for the west Londoners midway through the second half when he tucked in Ramires’ cross.
Beckham then showed he still had the vision to pick a pass, finding Dwayne DeRosario, who found Chris Pontius to fire home.
With the match heading to penalties, Eddie Johnson’s shot deflected off David Luiz and left goalkeeper Ross Turnbull unable to keep it out to give the American side the win.
