This past weekend, Chelsea delivered a stunning performance as they faced Morecambe in the FA Cup third round, finishing the match with a resounding score of 5-0. This victory not only solidifies Chelsea’s spot in the next round but also showcased the depth and talent of their squad.
A Strong Start for Chelsea
From the beginning of the match, Chelsea was in control. The players showed great energy and determination. Supported by their cheering fans, the team quickly set the pace, keeping the pressure on Morecambe. Although Morecambe is a League Two team, they gave Chelsea a tough challenge, especially in the first half. Their efforts were commendable, as they fought hard to maintain their defensive formation.
The Goals Keep Coming
It didn’t take long for Chelsea’s efforts to pay off. Tosin Adarabioyo opened the scoreboard with a fantastic goal from outside the box in the 39th minute. Just moments after, he scored again in the 70th minute, showcasing his attacking skills and proving to be crucial for Chelsea’s win. Other players, like Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix, also contributed greatly, each scoring goals that made the victory even more convincing.
Key Moments from the Match

However, the team rallied quickly, and beyond that, their continued attacking efforts eventually led them to dominate the match and secure their lead.
A Comeback for Injured Stars
Another exciting aspect of this match for Chelsea was the return of two key players: Reece James and Romeo Lavia. Both had been sidelined due to injuries but made their first appearances since a lengthy recovery. Each played 45 minutes before being substituted later on to manage their fitness carefully—a smart move by Chelsea’s coach, Enzo Maresca, to ensure their health for future matches.
Morecambe’s Brave Fight
Even though the score does not reflect it, Morecambe put up a brave fight, especially in the first half, with their goalkeeper, Harry Burgoyne, making several impressive saves.
