Chelsea 5-1 Nottingham Forest: Michy Batshuayi hat-trick helps Blues earn victory in Carabao Cup as Eden Hazard gets full run-out at Stamford Bridge

Daily Mail | September 20, 2017

Little has been seen of Kenedy since the Brazilian was sent home in disgrace from Chelsea's pre-season tour in China after insulting the world's most populous nation.

He has been lying low since offensive posts on social media, which included a photograph of a sleeping security guard tagged with the message: 'Wake up China you idiot.'

On Wednesday night, the idiot stirred and caught Nottingham Forest napping, opened the scoring on his first appearance of the season and set Chelsea on an easy course for a place in the last 16 of the Carabou Cup.
