With over £400 million being splashed out by the club’s US owner since buying the club in May, there is much expected from this Chelsea side as they look to recapture the kind of success seen under the previous regime.

On an emotional day when the club honoured the late Gianluca Vialli, a second-half header from Kai Havertz proved to be enough for Chelsea.
