Chelsea began the Liam Rosenior era with a comfortable 5-1 FA Cup win over Charlton Athletic, but the result failed to ease tensions among supporters. Chelsea’s second string dominated possession and progressed clinically to the fourth round, yet chants against the club’s owners again dominated the atmosphere. Rosenior, the fifth head coach since the 2022 takeover, largely stuck to the existing system while rotating heavily ahead of upcoming fixtures. Goals from Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández sealed the win, with Charlton briefly threatening through Miles Leaburn. Promising cameos from young talents, including Estevão Willian, added optimism on the pitch, but anger toward Clearlake Capital and the club’s long-term project remained evident in the stands despite a convincing victory.
