Premier League giants Chelsea posted a dominant 5-1 victory over Charlton Athletic in their FA Cup third-round clash. Jorrel Hato, Tosun Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto, and Enzo Fernandez all contributed to Chelsea’s emphatic win, which marked the arrival of Liam Rosenior to the club.
Rosenior greeted each journalist present at the press meet ahead of addressing the crowd following the Blues’ win over the unfancied Charlton.
With the win, Rosenior became the first manager since Antonio Conte in 2016 to win his first match in charge of the Blues, as the nine previous permanent and caretaker bosses failed to start with a victory.
Rosenior commented after the match, “A good start, professional. I thought our first goal came at an important time in the game, it was a brilliant goal for Jorrel. The quality of my players was outstanding. Strong start, something to build on."
He continued, “Goals change games and that comes down to the quality of players. To get the goal when we did was really good."
“I’ve got a fantastic squad, I was delighted with the starting players. I thought Marc Guiu was magnificent, he deserved his goal."
“There are a lot of positives. Strong start but nothing to get too carried away about yet," added Rosenior.
“The lads have been really receptive to us, and I thank them for that. If we keep working in this way, I’m excited for the future," he concluded.
Hato opened the scoring in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time. Chelsea then doubled their lead five minutes into the second half through Adarabioyo.
Charlton’s Miles Leaburn pulled one back in the 57th minute, but Guiu, who assisted Hato’s opener, restored Chelsea’s two-goal advantage. Neto made it 4-1 in the first minute of second-half stoppage time, and Fernandez rounded off the scoring from the penalty spot.
