Chelsea were in cruise control of the game, but the tension was building and stirring around Stamford Bridge as the hosts pressed for more goals. Chances went begging in the first half, and the tempo after the break was no different either.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who came on just after the hour mark, won a free-kick in a dangerous area. Willian and Luiz stood tall over it, but it was the former who took responsibility. And boy, what an effort it was!

Willian fine-tuned his free-kick to perfection so much so that Boyko didn't even move an inch. Chelsea continued to dominate and create chances, but it was a goal made in the academy that extended their lead. Once again, Pedro sprayed a pass from right to left, with Loftus-Cheek was making a run.

The England international unselfishly pulled it back for his fellow academy graduate Hudson-Odoi to slot it home as the Chelsea supporters continuously chanted his name.

Time will tell how crucial this third goal could be for Chelsea.
