A hat-trick from Nkunku along with goals from Felix and Pedro Neto secured a 5-0 third round win at Stamford Bridge.

Here’s how the starting XI rated…

Filip Jorgensen – 6

Looked shaky as Barrow launched a string of early throw-ins into the box. Forced into a smart stop down to his right at the start of the second half but otherwise untroubled.

Malo Gusto – 7

Lack of threat from visitors allowed him freedom of the right flank and the full-back regularly posed a threat as he linked up with Neto.

Axel Disasi – 6

Unconvincing in possession despite little pressure but performed defensive duties throughout in solid partnership with Benoit Badiashile.

Benoit Badiashile – 6

Barely troubled by Barrow forward Emile Acquah. Assured in possession and showed his passing range by switching play to his wingers when available.

Renato Veiga – 6

Looked a class above when stepping into midfield when Chelsea were in possession but far from convincing in defence. Gave away several needless free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Cesare Casadei – 7

Shaky at first on his maiden Chelsea touch before growing into the game in the centre of the park.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 7

Afforded plenty of time and space on the ball for much of the game and even came close to a goal of his own.

Pedro Neto – 7

Link-up play with Malo Gusto was a constant threat down the right. Finished off a flowing team move for his first Chelsea goal.

Joao Felix – 8

Unlocked the Barrow defence with a beautiful scooped pass to set up Nkunku’s opener. Followed it up with a perfectly placed free-kick off the post to put his side 3-0 up before half-time.

Mykhailo Mudryk – 7

Gave Chelsea an outlet with his pace down the left, showed to perfection as he raced away before squaring for Neto to score moments into the second half.

Christopher Nkunku – 9

Showed his clinical edge in front of goal by grabbing a hat-trick with three well-taken strikes inside the penalty area, including an exquisite back-heeled flick into the corner.

Subs

Ben Chilwell (45’ for Gusto) – 6

Given a rapturous reception on his return from the Chelsea ‘bomb squad’. Tightened up the left-hand side for the Blues, with Veiga moving to central defence.

Tyrique George (63’ for Neto) – 6

Dragged a brilliant chance to score his first Chelsea goal wide of the post. Later denied by Farman as he showed promise down the right.

Josh Acheampong (63’ for Disasi) – 6

Slotted into the back four with ease and executed his defensive duties on his second senior appearance.

Marc Guiu (76′ for Nkunku) – 6

Continued to provide a threat to the tiring Barrow defence late on.

Carney Chukwuemeka (76′ for Felix) – 6

Quickly imposed himself on the action with several powerful runs through midfield to drive the hosts forward.
