Chelsea began the Liam Rosenior era with a comfortable 5-1 FA Cup victory over Charlton Athletic, securing a place in the fourth round. Despite the convincing performance, discontent among the travelling Chelsea supporters dominated the night, with chants directed at the club’s owners continuing throughout the match. Rosenior, appointed following the departure of Enzo Maresca, oversaw a controlled display from a rotated side, resting key players ahead of upcoming fixtures. Goals from Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández sealed the win, while Charlton briefly threatened through Miles Leaburn. Promising cameos from young talents, including Estevão Willian, offered optimism on the pitch, but frustration with ownership under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital showed no sign of easing, underlining the uneasy atmosphere surrounding Chelsea despite progress in the cup.
