"Estevao and Liam Delap scored in the second half as Chelsea stormed to a dominant 3-0 win over 10-man Barcelona in the Champions League. Chelsea also had three goals disallowed, while a disappointing day for Barcelona saw Ronald Araujo sent off for two first-half bookings. Enzo Fernandez had the ball in the back of the net after just four minutes, latching onto Wesley Fofana's cutback from the right byline, but the defender was adjudged to have handled in the build-up."
"Moments later, Ferran Torres bent a golden opportunity wide of the right post before Fernandez was denied again; he nodded in from close range from Estevao's free-kick, but Trevoh Chalobah had interfered from an offside position beforehand. Pedro Neto then blazed over, but his contribution led to the breakthrough goal as he flicked Marc Cucurella's cross on and Jules Kounde bundled it over the line in the 27th minute."
"Araujo was then sent off on the stroke of half-time. Having been needlessly booked for dissent 12 minutes earlier, he slid in late on Cucurella to receive his marching orders. Six minutes after the break, Andrey Santos' celebrations were cut short after his tame strike trickled over the line despite Joan Garcia getting a hand to it, the flag going up to deny Chelsea again."
Chelsea dominated Barcelona in a 3-0 Champions League win after Barcelona were reduced to 10 men when Ronald Araujo was sent off for a second booking just before half-time. Chelsea had three goals ruled out, including an early Enzo Fernandez strike judged offside and a Trevoh Chalobah interference called on another. Jules Kounde put Chelsea ahead in the 27th minute after a Pedro Neto flick. Estevao doubled the lead early in the second half with a precise finish. Substitute Liam Delap sealed the win by calmly converting one-on-one after a VAR review overturned an initial offside flag.
