Chelsea were far from perfect, even shaky at times in the first half, but they improved as the game progressed and deservedly took maximum points from their first league match under Maurizio Sarri thanks to goals by N’Golo Kanté, Jorginho and Pedro.The last match between these teams concluded with Huddersfield celebrating rapturously, as May’s 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge confirmed they would compete in the Premier League again this season.
