Felix and Nkunku each rating twice in rout

Chelsea moved to the highest of the Convention League desk after dismantling Noah at Stamford Bridge tonight.

The Armenian minnows had been hopelessly overwhelmed as, regardless of making 11 adjustments, Chelsea had been far too sturdy with a number of fringe gamers standing out.

Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku each scored twice and Enzo Fernandez made three assists earlier than being withdrawn at half-time.

Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Axel Disasi and Mykhailo Mudryk had been additionally on track because the disparity between the haves and the have-nots in European soccer was ruthlessly uncovered.

Surprisingly, it was Noah who created the primary probability of the night, Goncalo Gregorio capitalising on a mistake from Adarabioyo and hammering in a shot that hit goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen within the chest.

It solely served to poke the bear as Chelsea swarmed over their opponents for the rest of the half.

Felix should have scored after seven minutes however in some way failed to show house Tyrique George’s cross.

Noah concede the primary of many

It mattered not as Adarabioyo nodded house Fernandez’s nook six minutes later to open the floodgates.

Eighty-four seconds later, Guiu capitalised on some sloppy defending to tuck the ball into the nook.

One other Fernandez nook created the third for Disasi and it was 4-0 after 22 minutes as extra panicked defending enabled Guiu to pinch the ball off Goncalo Silva and Fernandez then performed it via for Felix to clip over Noah goalkeeper Ognjen Cancarevic.

The fifth had nothing to do with the overworked Noah defence and all the pieces to do with the brilliance of Mudryk, the Ukraine winger chopping inside and drilling an outstanding shot into the highest right-hand nook.

Chelsea weren’t finished in a outstanding opening 45 minutes and, after Disasi led a swift counter-attack, Felix notched his second with a shot that deflected in off the hapless Silva.

Fernandez and Guiu had been withdrawn on the break, maybe with the weekend conflict towards Arsenal behind Enzo Maresca’s thoughts.

Onslaught continues after the break

It did little to change the course of the sport. Cancarevic had had no probability with any of the objectives however he excelled after 54 minutes with a double save to maintain out efforts from Nkunku and Felix.

Nkunku had but to get in on the act however he got here shut after 59 minutes with a shot that rattled the bar.

He did get his purpose with 20 minutes to go, although, firing in a volleyed rebound from a good angle after his preliminary effort had been blocked by the unlucky Cancarevic.

And the France worldwide added Chelsea’s eighth from the spot after substitute Kiernan Dewsbury-Corridor was felled inside the world.

The group had been chanting “we would like 10” however the closest Chelsea got here to a different purpose was an effort from debutant Samuel Rak-Sakyi that sailed over the bar.
