Nigeria winger, Victor Moses scored for European champions, Chelsea as the London club recorded a 2-1 victory over Swiss side, FC Basel in a first leg semifinal game at Sankt Jakob-Park on Thursday.
.
The 22-year-old netted in fortuitous fashion after 12 minutes to put Chelsea on the path to a priceless away win which sets things up nicely for the return leg at Stamford Bridge next week.
.
Branislav Ivanovic failed to connect cleanly with Frank Lampard's corner and the ball ricocheted off Moses past a stranded Basel goalkeeper, Yann Sommer to give Chelsea the lead.
.
Moses' compatriot, John Obi Mikel was an unused substitute in the game as the Chelsea manager, Rafa Benitez continues to rotate his squad.
.
Moses has now scored in his last three Uefa Europa League games for the Blues.
.
After the game in Switzerland, the forward took to the social networking site, Twitter to express his delight.
.
"Great result always good to score a goal looking forward to second leg fans were amazing #chelsea," he tweeted via @VictorMoses.
.
Chelsea will face Basel in the return leg at Stamford Bridge on May 2 with the Swiss club needing to score at least twice to stand any chance of advancing to the final which comes up in May.
Victor Moses has always been a fantastic player either for Super Eagles or Chelsea so i am not really surprised. I just hope they get to the final
