Chelsea are through to the final of the FIFA Club World Cup after a comfortable 3-1 win over Mexican side Monterrey in Japan.

Juan Mata put The FA Cup and European Cup holders ahead in the 17th minute before two quick-fire goals at the start of the second half effectively secured the win.

Fernando Torres doubled the advantage immediately after the restart and a Darvin Chavez own goal put the Blues in total control.

Aldo de Nigris grabbed a consolation goal in added time but it was too little, too late, and Chelsea held on to secure a showdown with Brazilian side Corinthians on Sunday morning.
