Trending
Chelsea began the game on the front foot and the gulf in class between the two teams was there for everyone to see right from the start. Noah could not keep up with the hosts' pace and conceded their first goal in the 12th minute. Tosin Adarabioyo scored to put the Blues ahead, while Marc Guiu made it 2-0 just a minute later. Axel Disasi then added a third in the 18th minute.
Enzo Fernandez made it three assists in nine minutes as he set up Joao Felix for Chelsea's fourth goal of the match. Christopher Nkunku then set up Mykhaylo Mudryk for the hosts' fifth goal of the evening. Felix then grabbed his brace just a few minutes before half-time to complete a 6-0 demolition of Noah in the first period.
Blues manager Enzo Maresca made two changes at the interval as he brought off Fernandez and Guiu, replacing them with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Cesare Casadei. The visitors made one change at the break as well, followed by a string of changes as they looked to find a way back into the contest. However, Noah manager Rui Mota found no luck in that respect.
Chelsea resumed the carnage in the 69th minute as Christopher Nkunku got on the scoresheet to make it 7-0. A few minutes later, the Frenchman had another opportunity, this time from the penalty spot after Dewsbury-Hall was fouled. Nkunku stepped up and made no mistake as he made it 8-0.
Maresca and his men will be delighted with the dominant display, and on that note, let's take a look at Chelsea's player ratings.
