In the words of Frank Lampard, it was a comfortable night's work at Stamford Bridge for the Blues as a dominant performance translated into an advantage on the scoresheet. Giroud netted just before the half-hour mark and then Willian added a second moments before the break to send us in with a healthy cushion.

It took until stoppage time at the end of the game before we added a final floursh, Barkley arrowing an effort into the top corner with his left foot to cap an impressive individual display. Click here to read our report on the game.
