Malmo restores Chelsea confidence ahead of Carabao Cup final, says Oliver Giroud

Oliver Giroud believes Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Malmo on Thursday night will help give them some much-needed confidence for the rest of the season.

The Blues cruised to victory over the Swedish side to secure their place in the last 16 of the Europa League, courtesy of goals from Ross Barkley, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Giroud himself.

It was the club’s fifth victory in their last nine games, with the Blues enduring a turbulent run of form under current manager Maurizio Sarri.
