Antonio Conte’s side entered into the game knowing they could not afford to lose against their opponents, who were a point ahead of them.

Pedro opened the scoring with a superb strike in the 12th minute to give Chelsea the lead, but it was cancelled out by Doucoure at the stroke of half-time.

The visitors took the lead through Pereyra after a beautiful link up play in the second half. Richarlison fed Pereyra with a fine pass across the box to finish coolly over Courtois.

Second half substitute, Batshuayi equalisd with a superb header! Pedro on the right curled a standard cross towards the near post, where Batshuayi got in front of Britos and flicked a powerful header from 12 yards that swirled into the net.
