Ziyech on the scoresheet as Chelsea dominate Krasnodar

Chelsea claimed an emphatic 4-0 win over Krasnodar in Russia on Wednesday.

The Blues should have gone ahead early in the first-half but Jorginho missed a penalty, which was won by Timo Werner.

Callum Hudson-Odoi put the visitors ahead before half-time, ending Chelsea's 248-minute goal drought.

Timo Werner made it two with a penalty on the 76th minute mark.

New signing Hakim Ziyech got his first goal for the Blues after some neat play from Christian Pulisic, who then signed off with a goal of his own.

The Blues are now top of Group E with four points.

Speaking after the game, manager Frank Lampard said: 'They were a good opponent but we have to be happy we travelled in Europe and got the result we wanted. More concerned by how we felt."
