What a game this was for Chelsea faithful. It was a show of class to banish the first leg defeat and Chelsea turned up in emphatic fashion. They totally put Juventus to the sword with a resounding 4-0 and no one saw that coming. It was destined to be a tight affair but Chelsea turned up the heat a notch and Juventus got burned.

Chalobah, Reece James, Hudson Odoi and Timo Werner were responsible for the nightmare of Juventus at the bridge as Chelsea took the top spot in the group.

Chelsea took the lead in the 25th minute after an in-swinging corner kick from Ziyech rolled off Rudiger and Chalobah was perfectly placed to pounce on the ball and hammer it home. It was a beautiful volley that found the back of the net with power.

3 minutes after, Juventus had a chance of their own as a volley pass found the ex-Chelsea player; Alvaro Morata and despite beating the goalkeeper, Thiago Silva had to provide a last-ditch save to stop the ball from going into the back of the net to deny Juventus.

Szczesny also had to provide a brilliant save to deny Reece James just on the right side of the box after his thunder strike in the 37th minute and Bonucci also nicked the ball off Hudson Odoi after a brilliant Jorginho pass in the box. It was a timely intervention to deny Chelsea a second goal.

Thiago Silva showed his aerial dominance in the 53rd minute after a freekick was delivered into the box and he met it with a lovely header but Szczesny was there to gather it easily. He was unable to keep out James thunderbolt from the right side of the box after the ball managed to find him in the 55th minute. He wasted no time as he blasted the ball into the back of the net from an impossible angle to extend Chelsea's lead to 2-0.

Chelsea didn't stop there and in the 57th minute after brilliant footwork from Ziyech and also Loftus-Cheek. Loftus-Cheek laid the pass to the waiting feet of Hudson Odoi and he stroked the ball into the back of the net with ease. Chelsea went 3-0 up at the bridge against Juventus... No one would have written this script and they showed why they deserved to win the Champions League last term and are going strong against another experienced side like Juventus.

Juventus' effort to reduce the margin was foiled again by Mendy after denying McKennie in the 83rd minute. It was a brilliant volley shot but Mendy was right there to parry it over the bar.

James found Ziyech with across the field pass after McKennie failed to stop Ziyech and Ziyech produced a lovely pass to pick out substitute, Timo Werner who bundled the ball into the back of the net to complete the humiliation at the bridge.

Chelsea ended the game with a resounding 4-0 win over Juventus. It was a brilliant performance and it's a good way to prepare for the match against Manchester United.
