Chelsea have progressed to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup courtesy of a hat-trick from Christopher Nkunku. Make sure you join us again on Tribe tomorrow for two more third round ties, as Arsenal and Liverpool enter the competition. It's been a pleasure bringing you all the action from Stamford Bridge tonight. For now, Harrison Ryburn signing out.

A tough night for Barrow as was always expected, but they can take heart from the way they battled. They were never in the contest, and were perhaps slightly conservative in the opening stanza as Chelsea blew them apart inside the first half hour. Philip Clemence's side pushed up and fought for a consolation goal in the second stanza though, commiting numbers forward and opening up the game. It made for an exciting watch, but despite a couple of decent chances, they couldn't find the back of the net for the goal their travelling fans desperately wanted. They can take heart from the fact it was only five goals, but it was more about relishing the occasion for Barrow, and they might not get to face the same quality of opposition again for a number of years.

Routine for Chelsea in the end, who secure their progress without breaking much of a sweat. The fast start was crucial to their dominance of the contest, scoring with their first shooting chance, and taking full control with two goals inside the first sixteen minutes. That quelled any nerves and dampened Barrow's spirits, allowing the Blues to run away with the tie on the scoreboard. Maresca's side dominated over 70% of the ball and were patient and creative with their build-up play, pulling apart the opposition defence with a number of intricate passes. The likes of Mudryk and Felix were integral in that part of their play, whilst the lethal finishing of Nkunku up top for his hat-trick will take the limelight. It's the perfect start to their Carabao Cup campaign after finishing runners-up last season, and Chelsea move onto the last sixteen with little fuss.

Fulltime at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea have cruised through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a five-goal victory over Barrow. It always looked a mismatch on paper, and it played out that way on the pitch, with the Blues asserting their dominance from the start. Christopher Nkunku scored twice inside the first sixteen minutes, before Farman turned the ball inside his own net from a Felix free kick to give Maresca's side a three-goal lead at the break. Pedro Neto scored a fourth moments into the second half, before Nkunku completed the rout and his hat-trick with a fifth in the final quarter. It continues Chelsea's strong start to the new season, whilst Barrow's fairytale cup run comes to an end.

Just one minute of added time at the end of this one, despite a number of changes. Barrow pinch back possession and try to piece something together on the counter, but Ampeachong is present to intercept and turn back for Joergensen.

Farman launches the goal kick long up to halfway, where Chelsea intercept and send it forward for George again. The substitute dashes forward up the middle, before linking with Dewsbury-Hall in support. Barrow are quick to settle back into their defensive shape though, and it eventually comes all the way back for Joergensen to take a touch.

George is found wide down the right, and he cuts inside towards the right-hand side of the box. The substitute tries a delivery back across goal, but the final touch ends up coming off him, and running out of play for a goal kick.

The goal kick is played short and Chilwell carries the ball up to halfway, before linking up with Mudryk down the left. Chelsea knock the ball from side to side again, with Barrow back into their defensive shape. The Blues just looking to regain some control here, after a frantic few passages of play over the last twenty minutes.
