Wigan 0 Chelsea 2: Chelsea starts the campaign with an impressive victory

At the DW Stadium where Wigan host Chelsea as the Premier League season kicks off today, the blues makes an impressive victory over the Latics, claiming all three points with a 0-2 scores in just seven minutes of the game. Ivanovich opens the score sheet in just two minutes of the game while Lampard seals the victory for Di Matteo’s men in seven minutes time to make it two. Chelsea Eden Hazard was the catalyst and earns all the praise as he contributes to the goals. The 32 million euro signing from Lille liberated Branislav Ivanovic and the Serbian made no mistake to convert the opening goal after just 110 seconds in to the game. 

The Belgian 21 year-old star also earns a penalty for Chelsea five minutes latter which Frank Lampard step up to score from the spot. “Eden showed all his quality” said Di Matteo. “He was outstanding, very good, and combined well with his team-mates. He was a threat, which was exactly what we are looking for. He’s got great technical ability, a burst of pace as well as to get away from his markers, and can play with his back to goal. He has a lot of characteristics which he will offer to the team” 

Hazard was eventually replaced by Oscar. The 20million euro signing from Internacional made his premier league debut for Chelsea today. Prior to the substitution, Hazard plays behind striker Fernando Torres and combined smartly with Juan Mata in his attacking brief. This was how the Manager arranged his formation for this match today. 

1. Petr Cech (Goalkeeper)
2. Branislav Ivanovich (Defender)
3. Ashley Cole (Defender)
26. John Terry (Defender)
34. Ryan Bertrand (Defender)
4. David Luiz (Defender)
8. Frank Lampard (Midfielder)
12. John Obi Mikel (Midfielder)
17. Eden Hazard (Midfielder)
9. Fernando Torres (Striker)
10. Juan Mata (Striker)

Substitutes:
22. Ross Turnbull (Goalkeeper)
19. Paulo Ferreira (Defender)
24. Gary Cahill (Defender)
5. Micheal Essien (Midfielder)
11. Oscar (Midfielder)
16. Raul Meireles (Midfielder)
23. Daniel Sturridge (Striker)

On the other hand, Chelsea targeted striker Victor Moses did his best to prove to the visitors what they are missing. The 21 year-old Wigan striker has set his heart on a move to Stamford Bridge but the transfer fee is still under discussion as the Latics are insisting that Chelsea meet up with their players valuation. I have a feeling that Victor Moses could be on his way to Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes in less than two weeks from now.
