Three minutes after being thrown into the action, Ighalo was located by Fred inside the Chelsea vital area and he toe-poked one straight at goalkeeper Willy Caballero, who saved with his knees.

The visitors had earlier taken an unassailable lead via killer headers by Martial in the 45th minute and Maguire in 66 minutes.

For the visitors, the victory takes their point haul to 38 and sees them on the seventh position on the log and closing in on top four finishing to guarantee Champions League qualification.
