Charlton vs Chelsea: Rosenior makes winning start as 5-star Blues ease into FA Cup 4th Round

Liam Rosenior, who replaced Enzo Maresca as new Chelsea boss, watched his side dominate from the start. Summer signing Jorrel Hato broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time, rifling home his first Chelsea goal.

Tosin Adarabioyo then doubled the lead shortly after the interval, ghosting unmarked to head in a corner.

Though former Chelsea youth product Miles Leaburn scrambled home a consolation for the Addicks, the Blues responded ruthlessly.

Marc Guiu restored the two-goal cushion on 62 minutes, pouncing on a parried save to finish from close range.

Rosenior’s substitutes provided the final flourish. Pedro Neto finished an incisive counter-attack in the 91st minute before Enzo Fernandez converted a late penalty, won by the lively Estevao.

The result marks the most emphatic debut win for a Chelsea manager in decades, safely booking their place in the FA Cup fourth round.
