Chelsea 3-0 Malmo – PLAYER CLASSIFICATION: Callum Hudson-Odoi shines in its early days

Chelsea got a shot at the next round of the European League after a comfortable win in the first leg against Malmo on Thursday night.

As was the case in Sweden last week, Olivier Giroud and Ross Barkley were again in the line of fire while Callum Hudson-Odoi added brilliance to the score six minutes before the end of the match, leaving Chelsea score 5-1.

Right here, Sportsmail & # 39; s KIERAN GILL leads the rule on the performance of both sets of players.

Callum Hudson-Odoi shone as Chelsea easily beat Malmo to advance in the Europa League

CHELSEA (4-3-3)

Willy Caballero – 6

Some first scares. Otherwise, a routine evening at Stamford Bridge for the backup goalkeeper.

Cesar Azpilicueta – 6

A stray blow was saved to prevent the captain from opening the match after half an hour. Put in the hard yards, according to.

Antonio Rudiger – 6

The first moments of nervousness against the visitors dressed in Manchester City Sky Blue. Soon, he calmed down and had his white sheet.

Antonio Rudiger had some shaky moments, but helped Chelsea get his own record at the end.

Andreas Christensen – 6.5

Held his, but Sarri is still unlikely to lead in the final of the Carabao Cup Sunday against City.

Emerson – 6

Grew in the game. Advanced in the second half and showed a good game of liaison with Willian.

N'Golo Kante – 7.5

No Jorginho, but still used to the right of midfield three. Cross the opener created by the center directly. Does it work anywhere, does it?

Mateo Kovacic – 6

But to convince this season and really we are still waiting to see what he can bring to the team. A rare 90 minutes for the midfielder.

Mateo Kovacic got 90 minutes but could not convince

Ross Barkley – 7

Kovacic and Barkley start together ?! But how would Sarri be against each other ?! Free kick free kick for 2-0.

Willian – 6

Dangerous balls in the box and defenders flayed well in the first half. Set up the opening match in the 55th minute.

Olivier Giroud – 6

The target man. Got his goal by reaching the end of Willian's center. Woke the crowd.

Callum Hudson-Odoi – 7.5

Rare chance to impress. Often, the one who tries to get things done and goal well taken for 3-0.

Hudson-Odoi was brilliant all the time and earned his goal six minutes from the finish

DIRECTOR

Maurizio Sarri – 6.5

The Chelsea head coach seemed nervous before the kickoff, perhaps because he knew his job was at stake. Got the result he was asking for.
