Maurizio Sarri clinched victory in his first match in charge of Chelsea on Monday as the west Londoners got their 2018-19 pre-season up and running with a 1-0 win over Perth Glory at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
Pedro needed only five minutes to head Chelsea in front following some fine buildup from Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Sarri's side saw out a comfortable victory as they were rarely challenged by their Australian hosts.
The Blues now travel to France and are set to face Inter Milan at the Allianz Riviera in Nice on Saturday in their first game of the 2018 International Champions Cup.
