Chelsea vs Inter Milan match report.

   The red card for Hugo Campagnaro was the only blemish on an otherwise well contested match between Chelsea and Inter Milan in which the blues secured a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Oscar and Hazard.
 

Hugo Campagnaro's tackle on John terry which led to a red card.

Hugo Campagnaro went for the ball against Terry but badly mistimed his tackle and ended up making contact with the defender's ankle which left him on the floor writhing in pain. the referee Elfath had no hesitations in sending Campagnaro showing him a straight red-card before Hugo even turned around. Ashley Cole and Ricky Alvarez got into a tussle but it didn't get serious and soon Terry was brushing the dust off his kit and was able to complete the 90 minutes.

A small tussle that was sparked by Campagnaro's red card

 Earlier Oscar had given Chelsea the lead after Moses won the ball in midfield and made a darting run towards the Milan goal. After evading a few defenders, he laid the ball off for Oscar who checked inside and beautifully curled the ball home. Moments later Oscar had a chance to increase the lead after he was played in by hazard with a nicely weighted lob, but this time his finish wasn't so pretty as it sailed over the bar. On the other end, Petr Cech kept out a deflected Rodrigo Palacio's long range shot.


The match wasn't short of controversy either as Alvaro Pereira brought Moses down on the edge of the area, but referee Ismail Elfath awarded a penalty despite the initial contact happening outside the box. Eden Hazard though calmly slotted home sending keeper the wrong way.
 

Goals from Hazard and Oscar sealed a comfortable victory for the blues
