Chelsea 8-0 NoahFélix and Nkunku hit doubles in thrashing
When the idea for the Europa Conference League first came to Uefa, it is unlikely that anybody in Nyon envisaged that one day a club of Chelsea’s means would be pumping six unanswered first-half goals past an Armenian outfit who were only founded seven years ago.
The point is that this competition was brought into existence for the benefit of Europe’s smaller clubs. There is little for Chelsea to gain, much as the prospect of adding another European trophy to their extensive haul will appeal to their supporters, and the truth is there was something faintly preposterous about this 8-0 victory over Noah.
