Chelsea manager delighted as goals rain down on FC Noah | OneFootball

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca praised his side for their professional performance against Armenian side FC Noah in the Europa Conference League last night.

The Blues dismantled the Armenians at Stamford Bridge, steamrolling to a commanding 8-0 win to maintain their excellent start to the European campaign.

Despite entering the game on the back of a two-game winless streak, Chelsea were overwhelming favourites against Noah and lived up to expectations in spectacular fashion.

A quickfire double from Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Guiu gave the Blues a two-goal lead early on, setting the tone for the rest of the game.

Axel Disasi extended the lead to 3-0 before Joao Felix netted a brace on either side of a stunning strike from Mykhaylo Mudryk as Chelsea went into the half-time interval with a 6-0 lead.

The Blues created more chances in the second half but prioritised controlling the game, although Christopher Nkunku also got in on the act, scoring a brace to take his tally to ten goals this season.

Maresca said (via BBC Live): “Tricky game because everyone expected us to win, but you have to be serious, professional, and the most important thing is they showed how serious and professional they are.

“Very impressed, especially because we are trying to change players every game. It works well. We have good players, and we want them to get minutes.

“We are in the right direction, and now the most important thing is to continue.”

The result set the record for the biggest win in the Europa Conference League, and Chelsea will be keen to continue in the same vein against Arsenal this weekend.
