On Saturday, January 11, Chelsea hosted Morecambe in the 1/32 finals of the FA Cup.
Enzo Maresca's team easily dealt with the outsider of the English fourth division, defeating him with a score of 5:0, and advanced to the next round of the tournament.
Chelsea could have opened the scoring in the match in the 17th minute, but did not take advantage of this chance when Christopher Nkunku failed to beat the goalkeeper with a kick from the penalty spot. However, the London team went into the break with a minimal advantage thanks to a goal from Tosin Adarabioyo.
At the beginning of the second half of the meeting, Nkunku still managed to score, hitting the opponent's goal from the field. And in the middle of the second half, the Blues brought the result to a crushing seven minutes, scoring three more times - Adarabioyo scored the second goal, and Joao Felix added his double.
