"During Thursday’s UEFA Conference League vs. Djurgården, a huge number of away supporters were able to infiltrate large areas of the home end," the group's statement read.

"This is the most serious breach of stadium security in recent memory, and it significantly undermines any security protocols FC put in place ahead of the fixture.

"As a result, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust will formally write a letter of complaint to Chelsea FC’s COO and Head of Security. We will call for a formal investigation by the club into the ticket sales process and Chelsea FC’s security response during the match.

"The findings of this investigation and any subsequent recommendations must be made available to supporters. The CST invites all supporters who attended the fixture on Thursday to submit written, photographic, and video evidence they captured during the fixture. The CST will then collate this evidence and then submit it to Chelsea FC.

"It is important to note that the CST shared concerns with senior club officials over the vulnerability of home areas ahead of this fixture. No supporter should feel unsafe while at Stamford Bridge, and the CST will do everything to ensure that a full and proper explanation is issued to supporters and safeguards are put in place to ensure that this situation is not repeated in the future."

Chelsea ended up winning the game 1-0 thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's solitary strike, with Enzo Maresca able to rest a number of players and still set up a final against Real Betis.

The Blues are still battling to secure a top five finish that will secure them football as they build up to the Conference League final against the side on May 28.
