Chelsea 5-0 Barrow match analysis (24 September 2024)


Christopher Nkunku scored his first hat-trick for Chelsea to help his side advance to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 5-0 thrashing of League Two side Barrow at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Nkunku scored the first two goals in the 15th minute and completed the scoring in the 75th, with an own goal from Barrow's Paul Farman in between and Pedro Neto tapping in his first Chelsea goal.

Chelsea also rotated their lineup, with manager Enzo Maresca making 11 changes from the side that started the 3-0 win at West Ham on Saturday.

The competition's round of 32 is being spread over two weeks to accommodate the expanded Champions League and Europa League. Manchester United and Tottenham were among those to advance last week, while Liverpool and Arsenal play their matches on Wednesday.

The draw for the fourth round will be made after Wednesday's matches.
