Chelsea secure record 8-0 Europa Conference League win over FC Noah, dominating the Armenian side.
Chelsea dominated FC Noah in the Europa Conference League, achieving the competition's largest victory.
The Blues, fielding a completely different lineup from their previous Premier League match, took a commanding 6-0 lead at halftime.
Tosin Adarabioyo initiated the scoring, heading Enzo Fernandez's
corner into the net.
Immediately after kickoff, Marc Guiu intercepted the ball and scored, doubling Chelsea's advantage.
Axel Disasi added a third goal, heading another Fernandez corner into the net.
Fernandez then assisted Joao Felix, who skillfully chipped the ball over the goalkeeper.
Mykhailo Mudryk scored the game's standout goal with a curled shot into the top corner.
Joao Felix netted his second goal via a deflection, further extending Chelsea's lead.
Christopher Nkunku scored the seventh goal from an angle after his initial shot was saved.
Nkunku later converted a penalty, slamming it down the middle.
Chelsea's extensive and talented squad enables them to field distinct teams in league and cup competitions.
Their second-string team has dominated the Conference League, scoring 16 goals in three wins.
Chelsea, ranked ninth in UEFA's European club rankings, were overwhelming favorites against FC Noah (311th).
The Blues achieved their joint-second-largest victory, surpassing all but a 13-0 win over Jeunesse Hautcharage in 1971.
FC Noah, founded just seven years ago, began strongly, with Goncalo Gregorio testing Filip Jorgensen after three minutes.
However, Chelsea's opening goal set the tone, and they scored in pairs against the biblically-named side.
Summer signings Adarabioyo and Guiu scored their first Chelsea goals in quick succession.
Disasi and Felix's first goals followed, with Mudryk and Felix's second strike just two minutes apart.
Nkunku netted twice after halftime, becoming Chelsea's top scorer this season with 10 goals.
Notably, Nkunku has started only one league game, highlighting Chelsea's distinct cup team.
Poor defending by Noah contributed to several Chelsea goals, despite the Armenian side's 11th Conference League game.
Noah were unlucky not to score, but Chelsea's dominance prevailed.
The match broke Conference League records, surpassing joint-highest scores.
Previous record-holders included Nordsjaelland, Fiorentina, and Eintracht Frankfurt.
