Key Moments Recap :
Goal – 30″ 0 – 1 : Ross Barkley

It’s a good cross into the area from Pedro, who looks up to pick out Barkley in the middle. Bengtsson tries to clear but completely misses it allowing the Chelsea midfielder to sort of his feet before poking home past Dahlin.

Goals – 58′ 0 – 2 Olivier Giroud

Malmo’s attempts to get the equaliser has ultimately been their downfall for this one as Chelsea hit them on the break.
Barkley races down the field before laying the ball off for Willian over on his left. The Brazilian gets to the near post before cutting the ball back and Giroud flicks it home with a classy finish.
