Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored his first ever senior hat trick as Chelsea strolled past BATE Borisov to secure a 3-1 Europa League victory on Thursday
The Blues took little time to storm into an early lead as the vibrant Loftus-Cheek arrived to stroke the ball home after just two minutes following some strong work on the flank from right back Davide Zappacosta.
The England international, drafted into a Chelsea side which featured eight changes from the team which drew 2-2 with Manchester United on Saturday, doubled his tally and his side's lead with a deft flick from a corner on the eighth minute.
