Antonio Conte secured his first win as Chelsea head coach with a 3-0 victory in their pre-season friendly over Austrian side RZ Pellets WAC.
Bertrand Traore scored the first goal of Conte's reign, turning home a Willian cross four minutes before half-time to hand Chelsea the lead.
Second-half goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Nathaniel Chalobah confirmed the win for Chelsea, who had lost their opening friendly 2-0 to Rapid Vienna, on Saturday.
Michy Batshuayi made his debut in the second half after joining for £33m from Marseille in July, and looked lively for the final half-hour.
Chelsea's first chance fell to Victor Moses after 13 minutes, but the Nigeria international's curled effort struck the post and rolled into the grateful hands of the goalkeeper.
Moses continued to find himself in acres of space down the left, and the 25-year-old picked out Traore, but he could only fire over the crossbar from six yards out.
But Traore made amends before the interval, converting an inviting Willian cross past the goalkeeper at the second attempt.
Willian proved to be a constant threat for Chelsea, and his bursting run moments before half-time led to a chance for Diego Costa, but his drilled effort was tipped away for a corner.
After the break, the first opportunity fell to the Austrian side, but Dario Baldauf headed wide from a corner despite finding himself in plenty of space at the back post.
It was all eyes on Batshuayi from the hour-mark as the 22-year-old looked to make an immediate impact, coming on for Costa.
Fifteen minutes from time, the Belgium international found himself clean through on goal before pulling the ball back to Moses, who looked certain to score from seven yards out, but his effort was brilliantly cleared off the line.
Loftus-Cheek then scored Chelsea's second goal six minutes from time, beating the goalkeeper to a Moses corner and heading into the empty net.
Chalobah rounded off the win with the very last kick of the match, accelerating into the box before shooting across the goalkeeper into the far corner.
Chelsea's attentions will now turn to their International Champions Cup game against Liverpool in the USA next Thursday.
Chelsea's starting XI: Begovic, Ivanovic, Terry, Djilobodji, Aina, Willian, Matic, Oscar, Moses, Traore, Costa.
Used subs: Baba Rahman, Hector, Loftus-Cheek, Batshuayi, Chalobah, Atsu, Mikel, Kenedy, Miazga.
