Chelsea vs Malmo: Player ratings as Maurizio Sarri's side saunter into Europa League last-16

Chelsea cantered to a 3-0 victory against Malmo to progress to the last-16 of the Europa League 5-1 on aggregate.

Olivier Giroud tapped-in the opener for Maurizio Sarri's side in the 55th minute, after a tepid first-half saw little action.

Ross Barkley then added the second with a delicate free-kick from the edge of the box after Rasmus Bengtsson received a second yellow card.

Callum Hudson-Odoi, after impressing on a rare start, then got on the scoresheet himself with a fine, low strike across the face of goal in the 84th minute.

Chelsea join Arsenal in the last-16 and will find out their opponents on Friday morning.
