Fresh Injury For Chelsea

The Blues may have won 4-0 at home but they paid the huge price in the win due to the injury coped by their two front players in the match.

The likes of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner had to leave the pitch due to injury they coped in the process.

And they were replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi and Kai Havertz who came on to score Chelsea's third goal against the visitors.

This would be a worrying case for Thomas Tuchel as there are more tough games ahead in the season for Chelsea.

First Chelsea Goal For Defender

The Chelsea player Andreas Christensen was on hand to feature in the defence alongside the experienced duo of Thiago Silva and Antonio Ruediger.

But it is Christensen's goal for the opener that drew major interest in this one. Having scored a thunderous goal for his country Denmark in the EURO 2020 held back in the summer.

He was on hand to open the scoring with his first (maiden) goal for Chelsea in the win against Malmo.

And the goal would aid his confidence going forward in the season as he plays alongside the aforementioned colleagues in the heart of Chelsea's defence.

Jorginho Penalty Rudiments

The Italian midfield player was at it to bury from 12 yards for Chelsea's second goal of the match following a foul on striker Romelu Lukaku.

And he was on hand to complete his brace from the penalty spot yet again in the process. The way he took the spot kick was superb as he reveals the kind of form and confidence he's riding on at the moment.

While such delivery will be expected of him as his side hopes for more outstanding performance from him alongside N'Golo Kante from the Chelsea perspective.
