Chelsea began the Liam Rosenior era with a comfortable 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic to reach the FA Cup fourth round. Despite the convincing result, discontent among Chelsea’s travelling supporters dominated the atmosphere, with chants aimed at the club’s ownership. New head coach Liam Rosenior named a rotated side, resting key players ahead of upcoming fixtures, but his team controlled the match throughout. Goals from Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and a late Enzo Fernández penalty sealed the victory. Charlton briefly threatened after Miles Leaburn scored from a corner, exposing Chelsea’s ongoing defensive lapses. Rosenior’s side responded well, however, with promising cameos from young talents including Estevão Willian. While the performance offered encouragement on the pitch, frustration towards owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital continued to overshadow Chelsea’s new chapter.
