An impressive Chelsea side claimed a well deserved 4-0 victory over Juventus courtesy of goals from Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Callum HudsonOdoi and Timo Werner to top Champions League Group H and cruise into the knockout stage.
Trevoh Chalobah, who was making his first European start for the Blues, scored the opener before Reece James controlled a clearance and volleyed across Wojciech Szczesny to give Chelsea the advantage their dominant performance deserved.

A third soon followed with Juventus looking shell-shocked as a short, sharp interchange of passes gave Callum Hudson-Odoi the chance to slot home at the back post.
The scoring was completed when Hakim Ziyech capitalised on a mistake from Juve midfielder Weston McKennie to cross for Timo Werner to tap home in added time.

It is the Italian club’s heaviest defeat in the Champions League and demonstrated Chelsea’s status as a serious contender to retain the trophy which they won against Premier League rivals Manchester City in May.
Tuchel, who has claimed 35 wins from 50 games as Chelsea boss, said the performance was “sharper” than the 1-0 defeat the Blues suffered in Turin in September.
The victory sends Chelsea to the top of Group H with a game to spare.
