Marcos Alonso gave Chelsea a controversial lead, as he elbowed Bellerin while scoring the opener. Eden Hazard confirmed Chelsea’s superiority with a wonderful solo goal, minutes into the second half. Cesc Fabregas made it 3-0 late in the game, capitalising on Petr Cech’s error, before Olivier Giroud scored a consolation goal in injury time.
