Match report by William Okafor-Oregan
Juventus had already qualified for the UCL K.O. rounds but top spot in the group
was still up for grabs
The reigning Kings of Europe put the Italian giants to the sword in a statement win to seal qualification to the next round of the UEFA Champions League.
The Blues took the lead not long before the half hour mark as Trevoh Chalobah marked his first ever Champions League start with a memorable volley from a corner.
Juventus nearly levelled the score if not for a brilliant goal-line clearance from the veteran Thiago Silva denying Alvaro Morata against his former team.

The home side upped the ante in the second half with scoring two in a matter of minutes. Firstly, Reece James firing a low shot past Wojciech Szczesny then Callum Hudson-Odoi adding a third with a clever finish from close range.
Timo Werner rounded off the emphatic win in stoppage time by tapping in Hakim Ziyech's swift cross.
The embarrassing loss is Juventus' heaviest defeat ever in the Champions League and extends Chelsea's unbeaten run to 10 in all competitions.
