Chelsea beat Juventus 4-0 thanks to goals from compatriot trio Trevo Chaloba, Reese James and Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Warner's fourth goal to move up to Group H in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Juventus had already qualified for the knockout stages but the result dropped to second place in their group, equaling Chelsea's 12 points in one round.
Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel was full of praise for his young scorers.
"Performing at Stamford Bridge, performing in blue, being part of a strong Chelsea team is their biggest dream," said German. "I firmly believe that this is a huge part of the success of our coordination."
Warner sent the ball home from Zick's cross by icing on the cake before the final.
Chelsea, who lost 1-0 in Turin in September, looked normal to the Italians, venting their anger on the complex passing movement and scoring 20 shots on Juve's eight goals.
Former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata bounced the ball to Chelsea keeper Edward Mendy in the 26th minute, but 37-year-old defender Thiago Silva ran back to hook the ball outside the line.
Mendy saved himself by tipping the ball over the bar in a Weston McKenzie shot late in the second half.
Through the efforts of Hudson-Odoi and James, Sejesin saved Juventus from complete humiliation at several great stops, pushing the ball around the post, keeping GH and Ben Chilwell out.
A bad side for the hosts was the injury to the wing-back Chilwell, who helped him off the pitch with a bent knee.
