Chelsea made short work of Peterborough United on Sunday evening, as they ran out 4-1 winners in the FA Cup 3rd round encounter at Stamford Bridge.
It was as easy as a walk in the park for Chelsea on Sunday as Antonio Conte’s men created chance after chance against a Peterborough side that was out of its depth in West London. In a first half when Chelsea managed 20 shots on target, Pedro and Michy Batshuayi scored to put the Blues 2-0 up.
The second half was more of the same for Chelsea, who even though had John Terry sent off in the 67th minute, looked comfortable on the ball, as Willian scored early on before Tom Nichols surprisingly pulled one back for the visitors.
Pedro completed his brace with 15 minutes to go to round off an emphatic win for the Blues. Here are the best tweets post the FA Cup 3rd round tie.

Limited playing time for Batshuayi in his first Chelsea season thus far, but he’s made the most of them. 4G + 1A in just over 300 minutes.
