Chelsea beat Werder Bremen 4-2 in final pre-season friendly

There were a few indications as to what the starting line-up for Chelsea under Antonio Conte would in their final pre-season game against Werder Bremen in Germany on Sunday. The Blues ran out 4-2 winners but there were more than a couple of uncomfortable moments for them, especially in the second half. Eden Hazard, Oscar, Diego Costa and Pedro were the goalscorers for the visitors, while Claudio Pizarro and Lennart Thy netted for Bremen.

Conte gave summer signing N’Golo Kante his first start, alongside Nemanja Matic in central midfield. Hazard, Oscar and Willian played ahead of them with Costa up front.
