The Blues opened the game with a beautiful goal by new singing Renato Veiga in the first half, with Pedro Neto adding another one at the start of the second half, Nkunku scoring again and Dewsbury Hall scoring for the first time in the blue shirt.

Once again, The Pride Of London struggled defensively, letting in 2 goals at home. If they want to make a serious run in this competition and the Premier League, they'll need to tighten up at the back, but this time they managed to score enough to make up for it.

Chelsea’s substitutes didn't do much with the little time given, so I won't rate their performances.
