39'
Mount tries a shot of his own, but it is blocked.
-
The first of many for the German?
37'
It is absolutely hammering it down at Stamford Bridge! The players can hardly see each other.!
35'
Another chance for Barnsley! Sollbauer can only head wide from eight yards.
-
A Jolly special.
33'
SAVE! Another good save from Caballero after super football from Barnsley. Schmidt's strike was sneaking in, but Caballero got down well.
31'
How many could this be now for Chelsea? They are really turning it on now.
29'
What a lovely, lovely move that was. Mount fed the ball into Abraham, who threw a lovely dummy, Havertz could then steal in behind before firing into the bottom corner.
28'
GGGOOOAAAALLLL!!! Chelsea 2-0 Barnsley. And there is that first goal in English football for Havertz! Super, super goal.

Havertz has been a really threat so far.
26'
Barnsley looking a little more raged now, Chelsea have upped the tempo and are picking them apart.
24'
MISS! Oh my, that should have been two. Barnsley give the ball away cheaply again, Havertz nips in, carries the attack to the visitors, feeds Mount, who is in acres of space with the goal at his mercy, but fires wide. Had to hit the target from there.
-
An unusual one!
22'
SAVE! Barnsley still do carry a threat! Another save from Caballero as he beats the ball away!
20'
All that good work from Barnsley undone in one lapse in concentration. The visitors try one too many passes on the edge of their area and lose the ball to Abraham, who then simply has to take a touch away from his man before firing past Collins.
19'
GGGGOOOOAAALLL!!! Chelsea 1-0 Barnsley. A gift for Chelsea as Tammy Abraham gives them the lead.

Goal
T. Abraham
Chelsea
18'
Chelsea have a man over on the counter, Hudson-Odoi feeds Havertz, but the German's shot, under pressure, is tame.
16'
Chelsea are pinned in their own half here, they cannot get out!
-
The visitors are impressing here.
14'
SAVE! All Barnsley here! Brilliant strike from former Fulham striker Cauley Woodrow, it has Willy Caballero back pedalling, but the veteran makes a smart stop.
12'
Great block from Cesar Azpilicueta to deny Styles. Super football from Barnsley!
