Chelsea vs. Vidi - Football Match Report - October 4, 2018 - ESPN

Alvaro Morata provided the lone goal in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Vidi in Europa League group-stage action on Thursday.

Morata's goal in the 70th minute against the Hungarian visitors was his first for the club in six appearances. Visibly frustrated after getting a yellow card four minutes before, the Spain international knocked in a close-range strike after Willian's header to the goal post.

Ross Barkley, in search for his first goal with the club, nearly doubled the Blues' lead after hitting the woodwork with a header off Eden Hazard's free-kick in the 77th minute.

Chelsea controlled the ball for the majority of match at Stamford Bridge, taking 27 attempts to Vidi's seven.
