Sam Vokes opened the scoring after 24 minutes, before Stephen Ward rifled home a left-footed goal in the 39th-minute. Vokes doubled his tally on the day four minutes later, heading home Defour’s cross past Thibaut Courtois.

Alvaro Morata scored his first league goal for Chelsea after 69 minutes, but the Blues were reduced again later in the second-half when Cesc Fabregas was sent off for earning second yellow card. David Luiz made it 3-2 but that was the closest that Chelsea got in the match.

Elsewhere, Arsenal snatched a late victory in Friday’s season opener against Leicester while Manchester City snuck past Brighton away from home. In German Cup action, both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund cruised to road victories.
Marseille won on the road in France, while Nice fell for the second consecutive week.
