Chelsea delivered an impressive performance at Stamford Bridge in the League Cup semi-final second leg, crushing Middlesbrough 6-1.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg, the Blues, led by Mauricio Pochettino, turned things around with a show of strength. Cole Palmer’s comrades left their opponent no chance this Tuesday, January 23, 2024. The London team clearly proved its superiority.
The match quickly turned in Chelsea’s favor thanks to a Jonny Howson own goal in the 15th minute. Then, the London team took total control of the match, leaving very little space for the Middlesbrough team. Enzo Fernandez (29th), Axel Disasi (36th) and Cole Palmer (42nd) scored to give a comfortable 4-0 halftime advantage.
Liverpool – Fulham, the other semi-final
In the second half, Chelsea continued their momentum. Cole Palmer added a second goal to his tally (77th), followed by a goal from Noni Madueke (81st), illustrating the total superiority of the Blues. Middlesbrough, although overwhelmed, managed to score a goal of honor by Morgan Rogers (88th).
The win sends Chelsea into the League Cup final, where they will face the winner of Liverpool’s clash with Fulham, with the Reds winning the first leg 2-1. This meeting confirmed Chelsea’s dazzling form and underlined the tactical talents of Mauricio Pochettino, capable of leading his team to such a turnaround. The Blues are now positioning themselves as a serious candidate to win the League Cup this season.
