Chelsea End Pre-Season With Win  (Sky Sports)

Chelsea ended their pre-season campaign on a high with a 4-2 win over Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion in Germany on Sunday. ​​​

Eden Hazard opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a powerful strike before Oscar added a second as the Blues looked to be racing away with the game less than 10 minutes in.

But Bremen pulled one back just after the half-hour mark when the German side were awarded a penalty which Claudio Pizarro coolly converted, after Nemanja Matic brought down Zlatko Junuzovic with a sliding tackle.

Chelsea reinstated their two-goal lead moments before half time, when Diego Costa fired home after some impressive build-up play by Hazard.

Chelsea showed lapses in concentration at times and Bremen took their chances to provide a threat on the counter-attack, which paid off when Thibaut Courtois was beaten for the second time when Lennart Thy sent a powerful drive into the bottom corner in the 65th minute.

Bremen continued to threaten during the second half, but it was Conte's men who rounded off the result when Pedro fired in at the death.

Chelsea will now return to England as they prepare for their opening Premier League fixture at home to West Ham on Monday, 15 August, live on Sky Sports.
