Chelsea also created a couple of chances towards the end of the first half.
The Blues manager, Enzo Maresca, who watched the game from the stands due to the red card he was shown in Chelsea’s dramatic late win over Liverpool before the international break made three substitutions at the start of the second half.
The changes proved decisive as the visitors struck twice in seven minutes after the break through Josh Acheampong and Pedro Neto.
Recce James added the third in stoppage time.
