Hat-trick from Remy as Batshuayi scores first Chelsea goals in 8-0 rout

A hat-trick from forgotten striker Loic Remy and a brace from new signing Michy Batshuayi helped Chelsea defeat local Austrian team Atus Ferlach 8-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Thursday.

Belgium international Batshuayi, who was a half-time substitute, scored with his first touch in the game after Remy had struck two of the West London side's opening three goals.

Spanish winger Pedro, who was also a half-time substitute, also contributed with a second-half brace.

Midfielder John Obi Mikel scored the remaining goal in the score line in the first half of the friendly.
