Andre Villas-Boas’s reign got off to winning start yesterday, as they beat League One side Wycombe 3-0 behind closed doors.
Villas-Boas gave 23 players a run-out, but the best news on the night was that Fernando Torres got on the scoresheet when he netting the second goal of the game.
The other goals came from Yossi Benayoun and Slobodan Rajkovic, after struggling with injury last season Benayoun will want to get a full pre-season behind him so Blues’ fans can see the best of him.
