A first-half brace from Marc Guiu and Renato Veiga's header ensured Chelsea maintained their 100 per cent record in the League Phase. Astana found a consolation goal on the stroke of half-time through Marin Tomasov's superb strike, but it proved to have no bearing on the result.

A youthful Chelsea lineup made the most of a long trip to Kazakhstan by beating Astana 3-1 to stay perfect in the UEFA Conference League.

Chelsea are currently top of the Conference League table with four wins from four and have taken a bunch of youngsters with them for this trip. Astana have a very strong domestic record. They finished the league season in second place last month ending the campaign just one point behind eventual winners Kairat.
