Guiu, 18, opened the scoring for Chelsea with a brilliant individual goal inside 15 minutes.

He beat his defender before slotting past the goalkeeper to set the Blues on their way to victory.

The striker doubled up as he helped bundle the ball in after good work from Pedro Neto.

Renato Veiga also got himself on the scoresheet as he nodded in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall‘s corner.

SunSports’ Henry Tomlinson has given his ratings of Chelsea’s players…

Filip Jorgensen – 6

Never really troubled in the Chelsea net and made a couple of comfortable saves.

There was little he could do to stop Marin Tomasov’s brilliant strike.

Renato Veiga – 7

He netted his second goal of the Conference League campaign with an easy header in the first half.

But he was beaten too easily by Tomasov before he netted Astana’s goal.

Josh Acheampong – 6

Looked comfortable in the defence on his return to the team despite his ongoing contract dispute.

Dealt with the Astana attackers fairly well and put in some tidy passes.

Axel Disasi – 6

Took the armband for the match and looked solid in the backline for Chelsea.

Samuel Rak-Sakyi 85′ – 6

Did well in the midfield to win the ball back and get Chelsea moving forward.

Carney Chukwuemeka 66′ – 5

Chukwuemeka struggled in the game as he was clearly desperate to get on the scoresheet.

The midfielder wasted multiple chances for the Blues to extend their lead.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 6

Was involved in a lot of the build-up play throughout for Chelsea.

Dewsbury-Hall also picked up an assist for his corner kick, which was headed in by Renato Viega.

Pedro Neto 45′ – 6

Forced a good save early on when the game was still goalless. He proved to be a constant threat on the wing.

It was the winger’s cross that led to the second goal, which was bundled into the net.

Tyrique George – 7

Looked very composed when on the ball and threatened with his driving runs into the box.

He almost netted his first goal for the club, only to see his effort cleared off the line.

Marc Guiu 77′ – 8

The Spanish striker broke the deadlock with a fantastic goal. He took on his defender and put in a clever finish to beat Mukhammedzhan Seysen.

He made it a brace with a fortunate goal that was bundled in.
