Chelsea 3-0 Malmo: Olivier Giroud, Ross Barkley and Callum Hudson-Odoi score second half goal seals Blues’ place in next round of Europa League

Chelsea 3-0 Malmo: Olivier Giroud, Ross Barkley and Callum Hudson-Odoi score second half goal seals Blues’ place in next round of Europa League
Chelsea scored three times in second half of their Europa League clash with Malmo to secure their place in the last-16.The Blues already had a 2-1 advantage going into the second leg of the match at Stamford Bridge and made the result certain with a 3-0 win.4

Olivier Giroud celebrates scoring Chelsea’s first goal

After a tight first half, strikes from Olivier Giroud, Ross Barkley and Callum Hudson-Odoi made sure their place in the next round was not in any doubt.Malmo’s task in the second half was made all the harder after havingRasmus Bengtsson sent off after 74 minutes.From last week’s first leg, Sarri retained Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic in his starting line-up, while Hudson-Odoi was among those to come in.Willy Caballero deputised in goal for the injured Kepa Arrizabalaga, who could also be absent for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final with Manchester City.4

Callum Hudson-Odoi runs with the ball

The inclusion of winger Hudson-Odoi was met with the approval of the home support which had so publicly derided ‘Sarri-ball’ on Monday and joined in Manchester United fans’ chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning”.Yet Malmo supporters were expectant and vocal and there was an early warning as Andreas Vindheim’s cross was headed narrowly off target by Bengtsson.Giroud headed wide from a Kante cross before further chances for Malmo.4

Ross Barkley tries his luck from range

Arnor Ingvi Traustason fired wide and Markus Rosenberg, once of West Brom, turned Rudiger and shot past the post.Johan Dahlin saved a Barkley shot from the edge of the area and some boos accompanied the half-time whistle.Chelsea and Malmo face further UEFA disciplinary charges from the first leg and more are likely to follow.Malmo fans lit flares before the start of the second half and a pitch invader emerged from the home section and goaded the visiting fans as he was escorted off after 53 minutes.4

Rasmus Bengtsson was sent off for two bookable offences 17 minutes from time

Hudson-Odoi showed flashes of trickery while Eden Hazard warmed up, but the Belgian was not needed.Kante used his supreme anticipation and pace to win the ball in midfield and burst forwards to create the opening goal.Kante fed Willian on the left and the Brazil forward crossed for Giroud to tuck in.Bengtsson was sent off for a second bookable offence after 73 minutes, when he felled Emerson Palmieri on the edge of the area. Barkley curled the resulting free-kick into the top corner.There was further reason to cheer for Chelsea as Hudson-Odoi cut in from the right and fired in across goal. He had been linked with a January move to Bayern Munich and the Blues faithful called for the winger to stay after his goal.There was no such call for Sarri but his seven-month spell continues, for now.
