Five goals and into the fourth round! 👊🔵
Jorrel Hato opened the floodgates for the Blues as he smashed in a half-volley in first-half stoppage time after Keenan Gough failed to clear his lines. It was Hato’s first goal for Chelsea.
In the second half, Tosin Adarabioyo doubled the lead by guiding Facundo Buonanotte’s deep free-kick into the net with a deft header. The Leicester City midfielder on loan at Chelsea will hope to play more.
Charlton remained competitive despite the goals deficit as 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.
Alejandro Garnacho curled a shot just wide from outside the box, but Marc Guiu, made it 3-1 for the current Club World Cup champions before Portugal star Pedro Neto, who came off the bench scored to make it 4-1.
Enzo Fernandez sealed the win with a penalty with the last kick of the match after Estevao was brought down inside the Charlton 18-yard box.
