Chelsea made light work of Greek outfit PAOK to run out 4-0 winners in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening.
As expected, Maurizio Sarri made a few changes from Saturday’s loss to Spurs as Cesc Fabregas, Ross Barkely, Pedro and Gary Cahill earned re-calls.
The visitors got off to the worst possible start as defender Yevhen Khacheridi shown a straight red card after just seven minutes.
Olivier Grioud was drafted back into the starting line up, and the decision paid off as the striker netted a first half brace.
Callum Hudson-Odoi added Chelsea’ third goal after the hour mark with his first strike for the club, before Alvaro Morata rounded off the scoring in the 78 with a close range header.
