BAYERN MUNICH 3-2 CHELSEA: BAYERN MUNICH HUMBLED CHELSEA YESTERDAY:
Alvaro Morata helped set up a goal on his Chelsea debut but could not prevent a 3-2 friendly defeat against Bayern Munich in Singapore.
Chelsea paid the price for a slow start, falling 3-0 behind when first Brazilian full-back Rafinha came forward and pinged a low shot from 25 yards which found its way into the corner.
Then Franck Ribery found space to wander down the left wing before floating in a cross which Thomas Muller volleyed past Thibaut Courtois. Muller then smashed in a long-range third after 26 minutes.
But in first-half stoppage time the Premier League champions pulled one back when Marcos Alonso drilled in Victor Moses' square pass.
And Morata made his mark with six minutes remaining, flicking on a Cesc Fabregas corner at the near post to leave Michy Batshuayi with a tap-in.
