Liam Rosenior's tenure as Chelsea boss got off to a brilliant start, as the Blues bested a spirited Charlton side 5-1 at They Valley. Jorrell Hato opened the scoring with a beautifully struck volley just before half time. Toisin Adarabioyo added a second, with Miles Leaburn offering a brief reply, before Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez rounded off the scoring for the Blues.

Goalkeeper & Defence

Filip Jorgensen (5/10):

Did well to deny the initial header from Jones, but could do nothing about Leaburn's follow-up. Almost caught short charging out of his area in the final ten minutes.

Jorrell Hato (8/10):

Outstanding technique to volley home a bouncing ball. Solid defensively and up for the fight.

Benoit Badiashile (5/10):

Booked early when he got the wrong side of Leaburn. Consistently second best in aerial battles against the young Charlton striker.

Toisin Adarabioyo (7/10):

A simple near post run and header was all that was needed to turn Buonanotte's free kick home for the second. Handled Leaburn's physicality better than his partner.

Josh Acheampong (7/10):

The versatile youngster looked at home sitting in a back three, breaking forward as an additional wide attacker or mucking out in the middle of the park. A very solid performance.

Midfield

Andrey Santos (6/10):

Shifted the ball through the Charlton press with minimal fuss for the most part. Emerging as a reliable option in the middle of the park.

Moises Caicedo (7/10):

Got caught in possession on a couple of occasions in the first half, but that seemed to jolt him into his usual standards. Comfortable thereafter.

Facundo Buonanotte (7/10):

A fizzing near post cross was begging to be nodded in for the second goal.

Attack

Alejandro Garnacho (6/10):

Was given a tough time by The Valley crowd, for some reason. Wasteful in the first half, better end product in the second.

Marc Guiu (7/10):

Worked his socks off for very little service. Deserved his goal, fitting that it came from scraps.

Jamie Gittens (7/10):

Full of purpose with the ball, looking to run at defenders at every opportunity.

Subs & Manager

Estevao (8/10):

Continued where Gittens left off, replacing the Englishman in the 66th minute. Plenty of tricks, but delivered at pace and with purpose. Forced several saves out of Mannion, and won the last-minute penalty.

Enzo Fernandez (7/10):

Linked up beautifully with Estevao on occasion. Dispatched his spot kick with aplomb.

Liam Delap (5/10):

Should have done better when Enzo teed him up, badly skewed his effort past the post. Needs a break to get his Chelsea career off the ground.

Pedro Neto (7/10):

Turned his defender inside out to set up his near post finish. Clincal against tired legs.

Wesley Fofana (N/A):

Brought on to see the game home.

Liam Rosenior (6/10):

Will be pleased with his side's response to Charlton's goal. A professional enough performance in what could have been a real banana skin for the incoming coach.
