The reigning English Premier League champions Chelsea have overwhelmed their hosts Huddersfield 3-1 to go level on points with second-placed Manchester United.

Bakayoko gave the London Blues the lead after 23 minutes of play on Tuesday, scoring from close range.

Willian then doubled the visitors’ advantage two minutes before halftime with a beautiful header. He then set up Pedro for Chelsea's third of the night, five minutes after the restart.

The home team managed to pull one back late in the match but it was too little too late, as Antonio Conte’s men grabbed all three points with the 3-1 victory.
