Chelsea bounce back with Crucial win

Chelsea silenced their critics with a remarkable performance, bouncing back from consecutive heavy defeats. 

They took control early on, with goals from Conor Gallagher, Nicolas Jackson, and the standout Enzo Fernández, earning him the player-of-the-match award. 

The win sets up an exciting clash with Leeds in the upcoming fifth-round tie. On the flip side, Villa only bothered to show up in injury time with a Moussa Diaby goal only acting as consolation.
