Chelsea players certainly had fun at Stamford Bridge tonight as they made it three wins from three in the Conference League group stages.
The Blues won 8-0 at home against Noah, with Enzo Maresca no doubt thrilled with what he saw from his much-changed side in Europe.
The likes of Joao Felix and Enzo Fernandez really enjoyed their evening. The pair contributed to three goals each in an absolute rout.
The magnitude of the opposoition also allowed the boss to give a first start for the club for Tyrique George, with the promising youngster earning his place in the side off the back of a string of impressive cameos.
While he didn’t directly contribute to a goal, his glorious cross in the first few minutes was somehow missed by Felix from just in front of the net.
Chelsea fans were keen to see some of their younger stars start, and were really impressed with what they saw from George on the right-wing.
One user said: “Been extremely impressed by Tyrique George so far man, seems extremely composed for his age.”

Finally, one user said: “Carney comes on for Tyrique George. Excellent game from George, was a constant threat down the right and should have had at least a couple of assists.”
Maresca has previously praised George for the impact he has made, and was not afraid to give him plenty of minutes during the pre-season tour of the United States.
His performance will surely see him handed more starts in a competition where Chelsea look a class above any of their opponents.
A number of other youngsters will be looking to follow suit. Marc Guiu scored his first competitive goal for the club in an excellent display up top too.
