Chelsea 3-0 Rennes: Blues cruise to victory against 10 men as Timo Werner nets two penalties before Tammy Abraham adds a third – with Edouard Mendy keeping another clean sheet against his former club

Suffice to say Timo Werner is on Chelsea penalty duty from now on. Jorginho, having missed two of his last four, has been stood down and Werner now stands clear as the Stamford Bridge spot-kick king.

On this evidence, he has no intention of vacating his throne any time soon.

His penalty brace was ruthless as Chelsea made light work of Rennes to take charge of Group E.
