Frank Lampard's side continued their preparations for the season with an impressive yet exciting game of plenty goals as they overcame a good RB Salzburg side in a pre-season friendly.

The Blues raced into an early 3 nil lead in the first half courtesy new boy Christian Pulisic, scoring in the 20th minute when he latched onto a through ball from midfield before finishing calmly.

Minutes later the American was brought down giving Ross Barkley the chance to score from the spot doubling Chelsea's lead before Pulisic added a third.

Jerome Onguene pulled one back just after the break, before Pedro's ingenious backheel finish.

Michy Batshuayi struck the Blues' fifth, sandwiched between two Takumi Minamino goals for Salzburg.

Frank Lampard's side have now won their last three pre-season games, following victories at Spanish champions Barcelona and Championship team Reading.

A strong starting XI was impressive in Austria, none more so than American international Pulisic, who joined the Blues from Borussia Dortmund last January before returning to the German club for the rest of the 2018-19 season.

Chelsea's final pre-season game is at German side Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, with their first Premier League game eight days later at Manchester United on 11 August.
