Chelsea will next host Bournemouth in the Premier League, looking to build on their comfortable FA Cup win. Meanwhile, Morecambe will turn their attention to their League Two clash at home against Crewe. Thanks for joining Tribe for today's coverage. Don’t go anywhere, as Manchester City's FA Cup tie with Salford City is kicking off shortly, and we’ll bring you all the action from that game. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.
In the second half, Chelsea were much more clinical, with Nkunku making up for his earlier penalty miss by scoring to double the lead. Adarabioyo followed up with another superb strike from outside the box, finding the top corner to put the game out of Morecambe's reach. Chelsea continued to press, and Joao Felix made great impact, scoring twice in quick succession to seal the victory. Both goals were well-taken finishes, further cementing Chelsea's dominance. The Blues ultimately ran out comfortable winners, advancing to the next round of the competition with ease. Morecambe, despite their solid defensive performance in the first half, were unable to contain Chelsea’s attacking quality once the goals started flowing. It was a convincing win for Chelsea, and they will look to carry this momentum into their next challenge.
Chelsea were dominant throughout their FA Cup clash with League Two side Morecambe, but they faced difficulty breaking down the visitors in the opening period. Despite enjoying most of the possession, Chelsea were unable to create clear-cut chances, and it took a penalty to give them the first real chance to take the lead. Christopher Nkunku was awarded a penalty after a handball, but his effort was saved by Morecambe goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne, keeping the scores level. The breakthrough came just before the half-time whistle when Chelsea's Tosin Adarabioyo found the net in fortunate circumstances. His long-range shot deflected off a Morecambe defender and past Burgoyne, giving Chelsea a well-deserved but slightly lucky lead. While Morecambe had been resolute in defense, the deflection proved to be the turning point in the match, as Chelsea went into the break with a slender advantage.
