Chelsea began the Liam Rosenior era with a comfortable 5-1 FA Cup victory over Charlton Athletic, advancing to the fourth round with a dominant display from a rotated side. Despite the convincing win, unrest among Chelsea’s travelling supporters overshadowed the result, with chants directed at the club’s owners continuing throughout the match. New head coach Liam Rosenior, appointed after Enzo Maresca’s departure, largely stuck to the existing system as Chelsea controlled possession and created chances at will. Goals from Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández sealed the rout, while youngster Estevão Willian impressed in a lively cameo. Charlton briefly threatened after pulling one goal back from a set piece, but Chelsea quickly reasserted control. The result offered Rosenior a winning start, yet dissatisfaction with the club’s ownership and long-term project remained clearly audible.
