The home team were valiant for most of the first half but the Blues found the breakthrough seven minutes before halftime when Jamie Gittens sent in a cross that Neto headed in at the back-post.

The home side had decent attempts to get the equaliser after the halftime break but then conceded late on.

Chelsea sealed the win in the 89th minute when Enzo found the back of the net with a precise effort that beat home goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.

It was a seventh victory in 12 Premier League games this season for Chelsea with a fixture against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League coming up midweek.
