Alvaro Morata scored 20 minutes from time at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea carved out a 1-0 win against a resolute Videoton side in their second Europa League outing.
The Blues struggled to break down the visitors' backline until Morata's close-range strike, with that goal making it two wins from two in Group L.
Vidi had opportunities of their own either side of the breakthrough moment, including a big chance for Istvan Kovacs in the final five minutes.

Maurizio Sarri: "I think the Europa League is a very important competition so we have to play very well. They are a good team, they played very well in the first match and were unlucky. So it is very important for me to play at Stamford Bridge in Europe. For the club at the moment I think it is more important to play in the Champions League, but I want to reach the end of the Europa League. I don't know [if we're favourites]. The Europa League is a very unusual competition, because we don't know the names in the second round. Eight teams come in from the Champions League, but we want to arrive at the end of the competition. It is more difficult because in the Champions League you have usually 80 hours, the Europa League in England you only have 60-64 hours. In Italy usually if you play at home on Thursday you play on Sunday, but at 8-9pm. I think in England it is more difficult."
Marko Nikolic: "Chelsea are in my opinion in the top 10 teams in the world. I'm very curious how the team react for this match. If we play with our best focus and qualities we can be a very unpleasant team. We didn't come here just to enjoy and take photos. We will try to our best as always. This team has a big mentality and they will try to make a big, big, big surprise."
