Chelsea cruised to a comfortable 5-0 victory over Barrow in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Stamford Bridge. Christopher Nkunku was the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick for the Blues.
Key Highlights:
- Nkunku netted a treble, taking his tally to 5 goals in 3 games
- Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk led the line for Chelsea
- Ben Chilwell made his season debut after being frozen out earlier in the summer
- Chelsea made several changes but still proved too strong for the League Two leaders
The win provides a confidence boost for Chelsea as they continue their strong start to the season under new manager Enzo Maresca. Despite rotating the squad, the Blues’ quality ultimately proved too much for Barrow, who put up a good fight but were outclassed on the night.
