Chelsea began the Liam Rosennior era with a comfortable 5-1 victory over Charlton in the 4th round of the FA Cup. Although Charlton were the underdogs, Rosennior wanted to assess the mentality and approach of his players. The first goal came in the 45'+4' minute from Hato, followed by Tosin in the 50th and Guehi in the 62nd to extend the lead. Charlton pulled one back in the 57th minute through Leaburn, but Chelsea asserted their dominance with goals from Pedro Neto in the 90'+1' minute and Enzo Fernandez in the 90'+6' minute (penalty). A minor interruption occurred during the match due to a health incident in the stands, which was quickly brought under control.
