Mudryk joined the scoresheet, delivering a stunning curling shot that found the top corner just six minutes before halftime, setting Chelsea up with a comfortable lead that the team would only expand as the game continued.
In the second half, Chelsea slowed the pace but continued to create scoring opportunities. Christopher Nkunku added two more goals, sealing Chelsea’s 8-0 record-breaking win. His second goal came via a penalty after his initial attempt was saved, displaying the tenacity that Chelsea demonstrated throughout the match.
Head coach Enzo Maresca praised his team’s focus and professionalism, noting how easy it can be to underestimate an opponent. Maresca commented on his players’ commitment to taking each game seriously, as shown in their performance. The decisive victory places Chelsea at the top of their UEFA Conference League group with nine points from three matches, making them a strong contender for the title.
This dominant display solidifies Chelsea’s place in the UEFA Conference League standings, setting a powerful example for their upcoming matches. With the team’s star players in top form and the unwavering support of their fans, Chelsea is well on their way to a memorable season in Europe’s third-tier competition.
