Chelsea bounced back from their 6-0 humiliation at Manchester City by putting one foot into the Europa League last 16 with victory over hardworking Malmö in Sweden.
The home side made a high-energy start in an electric atmosphere, but Chelsea's first clear chance resulted in the opening goal of the game after half an hour. Pedro's cross found Ross Barkley, who sorted his feet out in time to poke the ball past Johan Dahlin.
Malmö responded well and nearly got their equaliser from a goalmouth scramble, but Kepa Arrizabalaga wasn't tested and Chelsea held on to their narrow lead at half time.
