There was nothing competitive about this match after about the first minute or two, although FC Noah even had problems with the opening kickoff, which they had to replay… so yeah.

The only real question was whether Chelsea could emulate, equal or perhaps even beat our club record victory, the famous 13-0 against Liechtenstein part-timers Jeunesse Hautcharage in the 1971 Cup Winners’ Cup.

Unfortunately, after a six-goal first half we would be happy to sit out the second half without doing much. The 13-0 record is safe.

“We want 10!” the fans shouted. We settled for 8. And even kept a clean sheet, despite some inattentive defending later.

It is the biggest ever win in the very short history of the UEFA Conference League. Making history!

Carefree.

• A bit of a random look in the first half, with just Enzo in the middle of the pitch and everyone else in attack or defence. A little more balance in the second half with KDH and Casadei.
• All-out-at-will attack rewarded in first half; Could have had 10.
• Tosin & Guiu with their first goals for Chelsea
• Felix, Nkunku could easily have had hat-tricks
• Nkunku scored double figures this season with his 9th and 10th goals
• Enzo with a hat-trick of assists in 45 minutes
• Pro debut for Sam Rak-Sakyi!
• Next up: a truly competitive match (hopefully) against Arsenal at home on Sunday
• KTBFFH
