UECL: Chelsea thrash Noah 8-0, go top of table with first-half goal galore

Chelsea claimed the top of the Conference League table with a dominant 8-0 win over Armenian side Noah.

The Blues scored six of their goals in a one-sided first half.

The hosts overwhelmed Noah, who only managed to hold out for the first 11 minutes before conceding.

The floodgates opened with Tosin Adarabiyo’s header from an Enzo Fernandez corner, followed almost immediately by teenage striker Marc Guiu’s first goal for Chelsea.

 

Defender Axel Disasi added a third with another header, also from a Fernandez assist, before Joao Felix struck twice – one came from a deflected shot, to make it 5-0.

Mykhailo Mudryk capped the first half with a curling shot, offering a confidence boost for the winger under coach Enzo Maresca.

With the match in hand, Maresca rested captain Fernandez, replacing him with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at the break.

Chelsea’s dominance continued into the second half as Christopher Nkunku added two more, including a penalty, to seal the emphatic 8-0 win.
