In the second leg of the EFL Cup quarterfinals in the early hours of Wednesday morning (24th), Premier League giants Chelsea returned to their home turf and thrashed Championship side Middlesbrough 6-1, winning 6-2 in the two rounds and taking the lead in the final. Chelsea has scored 51 goals in 28 matches in all competitions this season, matching the total number of goals scored by the team in the last season. The standard of Chelsea is improving day by day, and I believe that their leader, Putrajit Tannu, can keep his position.
Chelsea lost 0-1 in the first leg, but they didn't dare to take their time in this match. 15 minutes into the match, they opened the scoring with a cross from Staanen, which led to an opponent's own goal by Hüschen. After Ansel Fernandes, Asur Dishas and Galpenma each scored a goal, Chelsea was already leading 4-0 at half time.
After the change of sides, Chelsea still didn't leave anything to chance. Golpenma scored another goal to make it a two-goal game, and Maduki, who was on the bench, also scored a goal to make it a six-goal lead at one point, and Middlesbrough could only break the egg with a goal by striker Morgan Rogers in the 88th minute.
Chelsea have reached the EFL Cup final for the 10th time, second only to Liverpool who have reached the final 13 times. Chelsea's opponent in this year's final will be the winner of the match between Fulham and Liverpool, which means they have a good chance to play a "dream final".
Chelsea are only 9th in the Premier League this season, and it was rumored that the club was interested in inviting Moleno, who was sacked by Roma, back to lead the team. However, with the team reaching the final of the EFL Cup, the pressure on the team's leader, Putjetino, has been greatly reduced, and the British media outlet Football London said that "Fatty Pou" is now very secure in his position.
