Chelsea began the Liam Rosenior era with a comfortable 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup, advancing to the fourth round. Despite the convincing performance, discontent among Chelsea supporters dominated the atmosphere, with chants aimed at the club’s owners continuing throughout the match. Liam Rosenior oversaw a controlled display from a rotated side, resting senior players while giving opportunities to fringe and young talents. Goals from Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández sealed the victory, while Estevão Willian impressed during a lively cameo. Charlton briefly threatened through Miles Leaburn after a defensive lapse, but Chelsea quickly reasserted control. Rosenior’s tactical approach closely mirrored that of his predecessor Enzo Maresca, though ongoing unrest directed at owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital underlined the fragile mood surrounding the club despite a winning start.
