Six-shooters have a blast

- By DAVID WOODS

® CHELSEA enjoyed a Champions League cruise last night.

Their Azerbaijan opponents were on the backfoot at Stamford Bridge within just five minutes when Pedro curled home the opener.

It was two on the half-hour when new boy Davide Zappacosta fired home with a lucky strike.

The Italian raced from deep in his own half, looked up to cross only for his effort to sail over the Qarabag keeper and put Antonio Conte’s side in total control.

Chelsea added their third 10 minutes after the break when Cesar Azpilicuet­a headed in from Cesc Fabregas’ pinpoint cross.

Tiemoue Bakayoko fired home his first goal for the club with a deflected shot and Michy Batshuayi scored twice in the final 15 minutes.
