Charlton 1-5 Chelsea: Rosenior enjoys a winning start as Blues into next round

Liam Rosenior began his reign as Chelsea head coach by overseeing a dominant display that saw off Championship side Charlton in the FA Cup third round.

Match Report

Jorrel Hato and Tosin Adarabioyo scored before Miles Leaburn pulled one back during an exciting second half at a soldout Valley stadium in south-east London.

Marc Guiu restored the two-goal advantage and then substitutes Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez added gloss to the scoreline through goals in added time.

In the first half, Charlton looked threatening early on, with a few wayward strikes on Chelsea's goal from Lloyd Jones and Tyreece Campbell. Yet, aside from a blocked Greg Docherty shot, Chelsea dominated possession, had five efforts saved, and eventually found the breakthrough before the interval.

Hato, 19, smashed a half-volley into the top corner in first-half stoppage time after Keenan Gough failed to clear his lines. It was Hato's first goal for the club, having earlier miscued a header from close range.

Just five minutes after the restart, defender Adarabioyo doubled the lead by guiding Facundo Buonanotte's deep free-kick into the net with a deft header.

Alejandro Garnacho curled just wide from outside the box, but Charlton remained competitive. Jones headed wide and Charlie Kelman saw a close-range shot blocked before Leaburn pulled one back from a corner after Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen sensationally saved Jones' initial effort.

That joy was short-lived as Guiu, 19, restored the two-goal advantage from close range.

Substitutes Fernandez, Estevao Willian and Liam Delap all had chances to extend the lead before Pedro Neto, who also came off the bench, smashed in another goal in added time to make it 4-1.

Fernandez scored a penalty with the last kick of the match after Estevao was brought down in the box.

Cole Palmer was rested with a Carabao Cup semi-final against Arsenal to come on Wednesday, while Rosenior cut a calm figure despite protest songs from the ownership as his new side reached the fourth-round draw.
