Chelsea set a new UEFA Conference League record with an impressive 8-0 win over Armenian side FC Noah at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.
João Félix and Christopher Nkunku each scored twice for the Premier League club, who were already six goals to the good by half-time. Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Axel Disasi and Mykhailo Mudryk also got on the scoresheet as Chelsea recorded the biggest win in the competition's history.
The biggest margin of victory in the Conference League, which began in 2021, was six goals.
This result also equals the second-biggest win in Chelsea's history. The club's biggest win to date was a 13-0 victory against Luxembourgian side Jeunesse Hautcharage in 1971.
Chelsea are currently top of the Conference League standings during the league phase, with a maximum nine points from three games.
"The players once again showed how professional and serious they are," Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca told reporters.
"It's easy to sleep or fall down in this type of game. Football is full of surprises. What I asked them before the game was to show how serious we are, how professional, and they showed that."
The home crowd had to wait only until the 12th minute for the opening goal, when Adarabioyo headed in a corner kick. The second came a minute later with Guiu intercepting a poor defensive pass and slotting it home.
Another header from a corner came from Disasi after 18 minutes, and in the 21st minute, Félix gathered a pass from Fernández and slipped his shot under the keeper.
Mudryk curled a great shot into the top corner six minutes before half-time to make it five, and Félix scored his second two minutes later.
Chelsea slowed down after six goals in the first half, but Frenchman Nkunkou still managed a brace. He scored on a rebound after his initial shot was saved in the 69th minute and then converted a penalty seven minutes later.
