Chelsea maintained their perfect run in the Conference League with a 4-1 win over Panathinaikos at Athens’ Olympic Stadium.
The Blues, heavily rotated with 11 changes to their usual starting line-up, dominated the outing.
Joao Felix opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, to get the London side off to a bright start.
After halftime, Mykhailo Mudryk doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 48th minute, followed by Felix completing his brace just seven minutes later.
Christopher Nkunku added a fourth from the penalty spot on 59 minutes.
Panathinaikos managed a consolation goal through Facundo Pellistri in the 69th minute, but it was too little, too late for the Greek side.
The Blues also dominated possession with 60% of the ball, registering 14 shots, nine on target.
The win keeps Chelsea in strong contention as favourites to lift the Conference League trophy, while Panathinaikos struggled to keep up in their first home match since the tragic loss of their star player, George Baldock.
