Chelsea laboured their way into the EFL Cup third round on Tuesday night, withstanding a spirited fightback from League One strugglers Bristol Rovers courtesy of goals from Michy Batshuayi and Victor Moses as the match ended 3-2.

Michy Batshuayi
Having registered an assist and a goal from substitute appearances against West Ham and Watford respectively, Batshuayi didn't disappoint on his first Chelsea start.
