Highlights: Chelsea - Barrow | Carabao Cup 24/25

Supposing the circumstances of goal this early against an outfit this strong doesn't really change your game plan. The Barrow releases Mudrick. Mudrick first time into the penalty area. Nice play. Drewsbury Hall, first opportunity. He's had to get turned and he finds his impasse. Paul Shaw, Gusteau. Neto and Gusteau puts it into the penalty area. The Barrow supporters. 2,600 made their very long, long journey down from Cumbria. Tactically he's really accustomed to what the Chelsea manager wants and that was really evident. The last couple of appearances not exactly gone to plan so he'll be keen to fully get the supporters onside. Here's Pedro Neto on the right for Chelsea. Works it on to his left side of course. He's got Gusteau there if he wants to use it. There's an orthodox full-back. He crosses into the penalty area. And what a finish that is. It's Nkunku again. It's proven to be too good for Barrow here. Nkunku has a delightful little flick as the ball around the twine. Into the back of the Barrow net for the second time inside the first 15 minutes. Nkunku, right boot, gets to the ball. That's all he can do there. You just need to help it on its way. Little flip, audacious, brilliant. And a hat-trick already. It's his fifth of the season. He was one in the Premier League, two against Sevilla in the European play-off. Lovely touch again. Nkunku and Gusteau. To get through an awful lot of work and stay incredibly switched on. The position that Gusteau is occupying, really problematic. And here's Joe Phillips. And he's cracked in. And it's three. And Chelsea are just too hot to handle for Barrow. Inside the post. Into the penalty area. Again, that's a nice combination. Brilliant moment, Dewsbury Hall. Really good for Mudrick, his best moment. Badia-Shield. Badia-Shield just looking to bend it to the left-bank corner. There's Chelsea's shape of hybrid. Right back, inside right. Farmer can't do anything. It's a super save. He's going to find the far corner. Vital fingertip to it. To the corner. So sharp. Phillips. Going into the penalty area this time. Joe Phillips. Goes ahead. There's Di Zazi. And well saved by Farmer. Firm contact on it. I think he's wrestling with his marker. Pedro Neto. Scored their fourth goal. Ripped in. Again, and a chance there for Di Zazi. The first effort was from Nkunku. Dewsbury Hall lifts it back to the back post. And a header down. Farmer's proximity to Di Zazi is really close. So, no way beyond him. It's a day who has been a deep-lying midfield player so far this evening. Joining in. It's an advanced position. Meets it well, but just couldn't get a better contact to guide it towards the target. Coming over the top. Ian Spence is on the side. Trapped down. Well, just outside. Great driving run from the midfield player. Spence again. Fares to take it. And of course, there's another save out of the Chelsea keeper. Fine effort. The only problem was Rortley's pushed it aside. Thank you. Chelsea.
