    Theo Walcott

    Theo Walcott is on fire!

    Two goals in his first home game of pre-season and we're not even out of July.

    It's a simple tap-in after a smart move again involving Sead Kolasinac - Francis Coquelin providing the assist this time.

    Theo Walcott is up and running thanks to an assist by new signing Sead Kolasinac.

    Walcott buries a volley from 10 yards after Kolasinac gets past his man inside the area before teeing-up his team-mate.

    It's a good game this.

    Steve Howes: OK for Chelsea, lost to a pen that was not a pen and should have had a Michy goal that was wrongly ruled out. Prem refs better.

    Chi Lau: So many people panicking over Chelsea losing back to back... Its not like last year we had that good a pre-season either.

    Andrew Priestley: Step aside Frank Sinclair, that own goal effort from Geoffrey Kondogbia is hands down the greatest of great own goals.

    A game that will be remembered for one of the most ridiculous own goals you are likely to see.

    Chelsea substitute Jeremie Boga goes down just outside Inter's penalty area. Free-kick. In it comes...and the Italians survive.

    Chelsea are finishing the tour strongly. Antonio Conte is screaming at his players to get forward and Inter on the retreat.

    Chelsea 1-2 Inter Milan

    Michy Batshuayi sarcastically claps in the direction of the officials after he has a goal from inside the penalty area ruled out for offside. It wasn't. It should be 2-2.

    Chelsea have just made six changes at once.

    There's five minutes of additional time.
