Maurizio Sarri's reign as Chelsea manager got off to a winning start courtesy of Pedro's goal in a 1-0 victory over Perth Glory in Australia.

Pedro struck from six-yards out after five minutes following good work from academy prospect Callum Hudson-Odoi, 17.

Jorginho, Chelsea's only summer signing so far, was handed his debut and he impressed in midfield as the Blues began their preseason with a win.

Ross Barkley hit the post and Cesc Fabregas went close for Sarri's side, who now head to France where they face Inter Milan in Nice in the International Champions Cup on Saturday before taking on Arsenal in Dublin on Aug. 1.

Chelsea face Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley on Aug. 5 before starting their Premier League campaign at Huddersfield on Aug. 11.
