Thibaut Courtois penalty wins it for Chelsea after PSG draw

Thibaut Courtois scored the winning penalty in a shoot-out which finished 6-5 after PSG and Chelsea drew 1-1 in the International Champions Cup.

Chelsea continued their lacklustre pre-season performance with a lethargic first-half display. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was at the heart of the two key incidents.

First, when he and John Terry were chasing a ball into the midfield, he smashed Terry's face with a deliberate forearm, with no consequences. Secondly, he followed up Jean-Kevin Augustin's low shot, which crashed off the post, to finish high and above Asmir Begovic's grasp.

In the second half, an excellent cross from Cesc Fabregas teed up Moses to equalise from close range, and Radamel Falcao almost put Chelsea ahead with a low effort saved by Salvatore Sirigu.

The match then went to penalties, and Courtois' excellent spot-kick gave Chelsea victory after Thiago Silva's miss.
