Blues cruised to victory as rotated stars delivered again
Chelsea hammered Armenian minnows FC Noah 8-0 in the Europa Conference League group stage.
The Blues were 6-0 up and cruising at the break with goals from Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Axel Disasi, Mykhailo Mudryk and a brace from Joao Felix.
After the interval, Christopher Nkunku scored twice to add further gloss to an already one-sided scoreline at Stamford Bridge.

Filip Jorgensen 7
Needed more than he probably expected. Made the first save of the game, and it wasn’t his only fine stop of the evening.
Axel Disasi 7
On the scoresheet with a simple header from a first-half corner and also grabbed an assist.
Benoit Badiashile 6
Simple but effective defending from the Frenchman, who snuffed out a few Noah half-chances.
Tosin Adarabioyo 7
Stooped to great effect to head Chelsea into a 12th-minute lead by notching his first goal for the Blues.
Renato Veiga 6
Came into midfield to bolster the Blues’ central options. Quiet outing for him.
Enzo Fernandez 7
Registered three assists inside a nine-minute purple patch in the first half. Subbed at the interval.
Tyrique George 6
A bright full debut for the 18-year-old. Has deserved his first start for the club after promising appearances of the bench in midweek games.
Christopher Nkunku 8
After notching an assist in the first half, had a greater impact in the second 45. Scored the seventh goal and the eighth from the spot but also missed a couple of sitters.
Joao Felix 9
Superb display, albeit against limited opposition. Scored twice. Surely starts in the No10 position against Arsenal on Sunday if Cole Palmer is not passed fit.
Mykhailo Mudryk 7
Scored a blinding goal. Despite being out of the game for long periods, he showed his class with that strike and a few nice turns.

Marc Guiu 8
Did all he could in his first-half appearance really. Anticipated the pass and then tucked away for his first Chelsea goal. Then showed his defensive work with the interception that allowed Felix to make it 4-0.
Subs:
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Enzo Fernandez, 46’) 6
Kept things ticking over nicely in midfield. Some good passes.
Cesare Casadei (Guiu, 46’) 5
Quiet display off the bench from the Italian. One good shot.
Carney Chukwuemeka (George, 68’) 6
Had one nice run at the Noah defence and always looked to play forward.
Samuel Rak-Sakyi (Nkunku, 79’) N/A
Not used: Sanchez, Merrick, Cucurella, Madueke, Gusto
