"Chelsea were in total control from the off at The Valley, but were frustrated by Charlton in the first half, with Jamie Gittens and Josh Acheampong forcing Will Mannion into smart saves from range. But Charlton's defence was breached in the fourth minute of stoppage time, as Jorrel Hato volleyed his first Chelsea goal into the roof of the net after a miscued header from Guiu."
"Guiu took just five minutes to put Chelsea two goals ahead once more in similar fashion; he drilled his low shot past Mannion, who had got down well to smother Buonanotte's attempt. But it was substitute Enzo Fernandez - having twice forced Mannion into fine saves - who rounded off the scoring from the spot with the last kick of the game after the goalkeeper had brought down Estevao."
Liam Rosenior recorded a winning start as Chelsea defeated Charlton Athletic 5-1 in the FA Cup third round at The Valley. Chelsea dominated early but were frustrated in the first half as Jamie Gittens and Josh Acheampong forced saves from Will Mannion. Jorrel Hato opened the scoring in stoppage time before Tosin Adarabioyo doubled the lead with a header from Facundo Buonanotte's free-kick. Charlton pulled one back through Miles Leaburn, then Marc Guiu scored and assisted as Chelsea regained control. Pedro Neto scored in the 91st minute and Enzo Fernández sealed victory from the spot with the final kick.
