Chelsea player ratings vs Morecambe: Joao Felix provides timely reminder as Tosin Adarabioyo steps up
Share:
Chelsea are safely through to the FA Cup fourth round after an emphatic win over Morecambe. Following a frustrating opening 39 minutes in which Christopher Nkunku had a penalty saved, Chelsea’s pressure finally told as Tosin Adarabioyo broke the deadlock with a deflected effort.
That made for a comfortable second half as Nkunku, Tosin and a brace from Joao Felix sealed a comfortable 5-0 win over the spirited League Two outfit. Here’s how Enzo Maresca’s side rated at Stamford Bridge... Filip Jorgensen 5. Managed to have an oddly erratic game despite keeping a clean sheet in a comprehensive win. Ropey under the high ball and at set-pieces.
Reece James 6. Back after two months out with latest hamstring problem and given 45 minutes. Corners caused plenty of problems, including in lead up to penalty. Axel Disasi 5. Missed two big chances at 0-0 when heading over from close range. Passing was loose and ruffled by the giant presence of Dackers.
Tosin Adarabioyo 8. Remarkable afternoon on the attacking front. Almost apologetic as long-range strike deflected in to open scoring. Went close with a better hit from even further soon after, before striking a brilliant third. Renato Veiga 6. Tasked with inverting to bolster an otherwise light midfield. Did not exactly look comfortable against Ben Tollitt. Nice dummy for Tosin’s second goal.
