CHELSEA MAINTAINS PERFECT EUROPA RECORD WITH GIROUD’S LONE GOAL AGAINST BATE
Chelsea maintained their perfect record in the Europa League group stage with an uninspired 1-0 win over a spirited but limited BATE Borisov side in freezing Belarus, with Olivier Giroud’s first goal of the season proving the difference and star man Eden Hazard playing just over an hour as he steps up his recovery from a back injury.
Chelsea’s place in the Europa League knockout stage is now assured and they rarely had to break a sweat. Giroud finally broke his goal duck and Maurizio Sarri got to rest several key names ahead of Everton on Sunday.
BATE caused Chelsea’s defence far more problems than they should have. You also have to wonder about the load on Jorginho, this was another 90 minutes on what should have been a night off, but for the untimely fever that sidelined Cesc Fabregas.
