Tammy Abraham and Ross Barkley on target as Chelsea secure pre-season win over Barcelona in Japan

Chelsea have earned themselves a nice feather in their pre-season cap, while Barcelona will probably call this a "valuable run-out". A goal in each half - from Tammy Abraham and Ross Barkley - punctuated a decent game, before Ivan Rakitic guided home a beautiful consolation for Barca.

In terms of learning about his squad, Frank Lampard will have been heartened by Barkley's contribution in particular. Energy levels looked high, which was the aim, and Chelsea - transfer ban or not - have options after all.
