Chelsea thought they had pulled one back in the 28th after Callum Hudson-Odoi drove in a brilliant curler which completely beat Manuel Neuer in goal but was ruled out by the VAR.

But the Blues got themselves back into the after Neuer's poor punch fell kindly to Abraham who scored into an empty net to make it 2-1.

The second half was more of end-to-end stuff as both sides were evenly matched in their exchanges.

Mason Mount broke loose from the left having the keeper to beat but his resulting effort did not trouble Neuer.

Former Liverpool man Philippe Coutinho who came in for Perisic went close after his trademark shot scratched the outside of the net.

But in the 76th minute, another substitute Tolisso made it 3-1 after heading home a lovely cross from Lewandowski.
