It wasn't just raining water at Stamford Bridge tonight, it was raining goals as well as Chelsea thrashed Qarabag 6-0 to lay down a serious marker in Champions League Group C. Pedro opened the scoring after five minutes, Davide Zappacosta making his first start for the London club doubled the Blues lead on the half hour mark with a spectacular strike, Cesar Azpilicueta made it three with a header on 55 minutes and substitute Tiemoue Bakayoko added a fourth before Michy Batshuayi completed the rout with a late brace.
Positives
If qualification from Group C is determined by goal difference, Chelsea will have enhanced their chances significantly with this result.
