Chelsea had no difficulties and defeated Charlton 5-1 this Saturday at The Valley, in the third round of the FA Cup. Even playing away, the London team controlled the match from the start and secured their spot with ease.
The first goal came in the added time of the first half. Jorrel Hato took advantage of a good offensive play and opened the scoring for the Blues. Charlton tried to respond, but went into the break at a disadvantage.
Early in the second half, Tosin Adarabioyo extended the lead with a header. At 57 minutes, Charlton pulled one back with Leaburn, spurred on by the crowd. However, the reaction was short-lived.
Five minutes later, Marc Guiu scored Chelsea's third, dampening any hopes for the home team. In the final minutes, Pedro Neto scored the fourth after a quick counter-attack.
In added time, Chelsea was awarded a penalty, suffered by Estevão. Enzo Fernández took it with style and sealed the 5-1 rout.
With this result, the team led by Liam Rosenior advances to the fourth round of the FA Cup and gains confidence for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Charlton bids farewell to the competition against a much stronger rival.
