Chelsea started the second half with more pressure. They got the second goal in the 82nd minute from a resulting free kick that arrived at the feet of Benoit Badiashile inside the box, and he fired a low shot into the middle of the net.
Shortly after, they crowned the second goal with a third after Raheem Sterling put Joao Felix in the clear with just the keeper to beat. He takes his shot early from the edge of the box and scores beautifully into the bottom left corner.
This win is Chelsea’s first win under interim coach Frank Lampard and will look to build from it as the season gradually comes to an end.
