2:0！ A new happy boy is born, knocking out the former Premier League champions, Chelsea advances, and Bo Shuai wants to compete for the title
The two-goal lead was levelled by Arsenal and the 2-0 defeat to Brentford hampered Chelsea's league expedition. Chelsea rushed to the Carabao Cup against Blackburn Rovers in midweek, thanks to goals from Benoit Badiashiler and Raheem Sterling in the second half, Chelsea won 2-0 and progressed to the next round of the Carabao Cup.
As a former Premier League champion, Blackburn Rovers have also been in the Championship for many years, and they are also in the middle of the Championship this season, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to return to the Premier League. may know that this season is not competitive in the Premier League, Pochettino did not rotate much in this game, but many main players played; Raheem Sterling, Palmer and Jacquesson form a forward combination; Conor Gallagher, Enzo and Ugochukwu in midfield; Marc Cucurella, Benoit Badiashile and Disasi partnered Reece James at the back, with Robert Sanchez in goal.
After a shot from Blackburn Rovers in the opening seven minutes, Chelsea immediately took the initiative on the pitch; In the 16th minute, Reece James stepped forward to the right side of the penalty area and pushed it from a small angle, and Walstedt confiscated the ball; In the 24th minute, Reece James shot from the periphery, and the ball was slightly wide; Two minutes later, Enzo also had a long-range shot from outside the box, which Walstedt saved sideways.
In the 31st minute, Gallagher's cross from the right side of the bottom line, Walstedt saved, and Badiashile at the second point of the penalty area pushed to break the deadlock, 1:0! In the 37th minute, there was some controversy on the pitch when Conor Gallagher was suspected of handball in the box, but the referee did not mean to blow the penalty, but in slow motion, the Chelsea captain reached for the Blues to escape a penalty.
After a first-half trial, it was clear that Chelsea were superior to their opponents, with the Blues defendingly attacking directly; In the 51st minute, Enzo shot from outside the penalty area again and hit the goal, but unfortunately it missed the post; Six minutes later, Enzo took another kick into the far corner, this time to be cleared by Walstedt. In the 59th minute, Palmer knocked on the left side, and Sterling cut in front of him to shoot into the far corner, 2:0! Chelsea managed to secure a two-goal advantage.
In the 67th minute, the Blues had another good chance to score, Raheem Sterling cut inside from the right and crossed for Jacquesson to hit the stands with a great chance in front of goal. Although there was a certain performance in the preseason, Jacquesson directly took over the attributes of Sterling's "happy boy" as the season progressed, and failed to seize opportunities many times, scoring only 3 goals so far in the season. Thankfully, Jacquesson's slump did not affect the course of the game, with the Blues failing to give their opponents any chance for the rest of the game and holding the score 2-0 until full-time.
A 2-0 win saw Chelsea progress to the next round and given the exits of Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United, the Blues could really be in contention for the Carabao Cup title this season. However, Pochettino now has to consider that Chelsea will face Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United in the coming month, and how to deal with the devil's schedule is a headache for the Argentine manager.
