Chelsea began the Liam Rosenior era with a convincing 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic to reach the FA Cup fourth round. Despite the controlled performance, discontent among Chelsea’s travelling supporters dominated the atmosphere, with chants directed at the club’s ownership. Liam Rosenior, appointed after the departure of Enzo Maresca, oversaw a rotated side that comfortably outclassed Championship opposition. Goals from Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández secured progression, while Charlton briefly threatened through Miles Leaburn. Promising cameos from youngsters, including Estevão Willian, impressed, but failed to ease supporter frustration with Clearlake Capital’s stewardship. Rosenior’s first win offered encouragement on the pitch, yet the wider unrest surrounding Chelsea’s direction remains unresolved.
