JorginhoJorginho became the first player to score penalties against different keepers in the same Champions League game since 1999, with Malmo changing goalkeepers at half-time

Chelsea thrashed Malmo in the Champions League but lost strikers Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner to first-half injuries.

Andreas Christensen volleyed the Blues ahead from Thiago Silva's cross for his first goal for the club.

Lukaku was fouled - and injured - for a penalty which Jorginho scored, and Werner then pulled up while running.

Kai Havertz dinked home Chelsea's third and Jorginho added another spot-kick for the European champions, who are second in Group H behind Juventus.
