Chelsea went 2-0 up when Ramires headed home before teeing up Loic Remy to score. James O'Connor squeezed a shot past Asmir Begovic to bring Walsall back into the game on the stroke of half-time, but second-half goals from full debutant Kenedy and Pedro Rodriguez completed victory for the visitors.
