Chelsea comfortably advanced to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a resounding 5-0 victory over League Two side Barrow on Tuesday. New manager Enzo Maresca made eleven changes to his starting lineup, but it didn’t hinder the Blues’ dominance.

Christopher Nkunku stole the show with a hat-trick, scoring twice in the first 18 minutes before completing his treble in the second half. João Félix played a key role in the victory, setting up Nkunku’s first goal and having a hand in the third, with his free-kick striking the post and deflecting in off the goalkeeper. Pedro Neto also got on the scoresheet with a tap-in after a swift Chelsea move.

Chelsea’s attacking prowess was evident throughout the match, particularly in the first half, as they overwhelmed Barrow, who were simply no match for the Blues’ international stars.

This comprehensive victory marks a positive start to Maresca’s tenure at Stamford Bridge, as the new manager seeks to bring silverware to the club.
