"The hosts started brightly but the Blues eventually began to take control. The lively Jamie Gittens had a couple of efforts on goal early on before Josh Acheampong 25-yard drive was pushed round the post by the diving Will Mannion. Gittens again went close before Hato scored the first goal of the Rosenior era when he lashed home Guiu's header across the area from 15 yards out."
"Five minutes after the break, the visitors added a second when Facundo Buonanotte's whipped free-kick to the near post was guided past Mannion by Tosin. But just when it looked like Chelsea were about to hit cruise control, The Valley erupted into raptures after Leaburn, a former Blues youth player, reduced the deficit when he smashed the ball in after Filip Jorgensen had kept out Lloyd Jones' initial header."
Chelsea began Liam Rosenior's tenure with a 5-1 FA Cup Third Round victory at The Valley. Jorrel Hato opened the scoring after early chances for the hosts. Tosin Adarabioyo converted following a whipped free-kick and Miles Leaburn pulled one back for Charlton to spark home support. Marc Guiu restored Chelsea's two-goal cushion and Pedro Neto added a goal late on to strengthen the lead. Substitutes produced attempts that were saved, and Chelsea's clinical finishing ultimately secured progression to the next round despite periods of pressure from Charlton.
