⚽ Returning Terry sent off as Chelsea progress in cup
It was a great victory for Antonio Conte’s men who recorded their first win after losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Jan 4 2017.
The Blues rolled out nine changes for the third-round tie and practically trailed when Asmir Begovic saved Lee Angol's short proximity header.
Chelsea had 20 shots by half time, with Pedro's curled finish and a drilled Michy Batshuayi effort giving them a cushion, before Willian drove in from 18 yards after the break.
Chelsea captain John Terry saw red for bringing Angol down as the last man and was then sent off. Tom Nicholls prodded in from six yards for a buoyed Posh, only for Pedro to restore a three-goal advantage from the edge of the box.
This win gives Chelsea a boost ahead of the Premier League and the FA Cup title games, question is, will they pick up the energy in their upcoming games?
