Chelsea cruised to a 4-0 win over Sweden's Malmo in Group H of the Champions League on Wednesday (October 20) in a one-sided contest settled by goals from Andreas Christensen and Kai Havertz and two penalties converted by Jorginho. But the win came at a price for the European champions who were seeking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat by Juventus in their previous group game as strikers Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner both hobbled off in the first half.

Christensen, playing his 137th game for Chelsea, scored his first goal for the club in the ninth minute when he volleyed home a cross from Thiago Silva. Nine minutes later, Lukaku was felled in the box by Malmo's Lasse Nielsen a challenge which led to the Belgian's substitution and Jorginho made no mistake from the spot.
