Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Kai Havertz also found themselves on the scoresheet to ease pressure on manager Frank Lampard after a run of poor results.

The hosts controlled possession from the start and took the lead after Mount hit a long range strike into the bottom corner.

Just before the break, Havertz set up his Germany international teammate Werner to tap in from close range.

Four minutes into the second-half, Chelsea scored their third after Hakim Ziyech's wonderful pass found Hudson-Odoi to finish.

Havertz then scored his second goal for the club with a powerful header from Cesar Azpilicueta's cross five minutes from time.

Chelsea return to Premier League action when they travel to Fulham for a London derby on Friday.
