Chelsea got its Champions League campaign back on track with a 4-0 win at Steaua Bucharest on Tuesday as the Premier League club bounced back from an opening loss in Group E.
Following a surprise 2-1 home defeat by Basel, Jose Mourinho's team recovered in style under the roof of the National Arena, with Brazilian midfielder Ramires scoring a brace.
The Blues dominated throughout and opened the scoring in the 20th minute through Ramires. They doubled their lead at the stroke of hal-time when Daniel Georgievski scored an own goal before Ramires and Frank Lampard sealed Chelsea's victory after the break.
