It was an impressive opening from The Blues, with Reece James opening the rout just before half-time to see out the first half 0-1.

Chelsea started the second half with an intensified spirit, with a goal from Kai Havertz, at 53 minutes. The momentum was now with Chelsea, who then scored again through a second effort from Kai Havertz at the 55 minute mark to establish a 3-0. However they weren’t finished yet and Christian Pulisic made it 4-0, at 69 minutes to make it 4-0.
