Chelsea Here Chelsea There: Gallagher and Guehi beaten in play-off
semi-finals
30 Jul 2020
Conor Gallagher and Marc Guehi's season is over after Swansea City were
beaten 3-1 by Brentford in the Championship play-off semi-final second leg
tonight.

The Swans took a 1-0 lead to west London from the first game in South
Wales on Sunday, but two quick Brentford goals turned the tie in the Bees'
favour.
In response, Gallagher was played through and drew a fine low save from
Brentford keeper David Raya, but Swansea's night got worse in the first
minute of the second half as the home side, playing their last ever game
at Griffin Park, went 3-0 up on the night and 3-1 ahead on aggregate
through Bryan Mbuemo.
Gallagher, who started the game playing behind the front two, dropped
deeper after the interval and helped orchestrate a comeback of sorts. A
mistake by Pontus Jansson allowed Rhian Brewster, another Swansea loanee,
to lob Raya and take the visitors to within a goal of extra-time.
But that was to prove the final meaningful action, so Brentford progress
to next Tuesday's final, where there is every chance they will meet
another west London side, Fulham. They take a 2-0 lead into their second
leg at home to Cardiff tomorrow.
Tonight Gallagher and Guehi played the full 90 minutes, with the
20-year-old defender looking assured on the left side of a back three. It
was his 14th appearance for the Swans since joining them on loan in
January, with Gallagher racking up his 21st game since switching from
Charlton at the start of the year.

Conor Gallagher challenges Mathias Jensen
In Italy on Tuesday night, Victor Moses was a late substitute in Inter
Milan's 2-0 victory over Napoli. Second-placed Inter travel to
third-placed Atalanta in the final game of the Serie A season on Sunday.
Davide Zappacosta also came off the bench as Roma won 3-2 at Torino
tonight, each side scoring once following his introduction. Roma are now
guaranteed to finish fifth ahead of their final game away at champions
Juventus.
