Chelsea made light work of the FA Cup Fourth Round tie against Hull City, booking their place in the next round with a 4-0 victory.
Pedro Neto was the star of the show for the Blues. In a new position behind the striker, the Portuguese star hit a hat-trick in emphatic fashion.
Chelsea took to the pitch without Cole Palmer as he continues his recovery from varying injury problems, however had no real issues as Estevao Willian also found the net.
1-0 up at the break, but it should be more…
What do YOU think Delap was doing with that chance…

There was an unconvincing display from Alejandro Garnacho though, as well as the mysterious display of Liam Delap, which showed the best and the worst of him.
The Chelsea Chronicle have handed out player ratings for the Blues players from their fourth round victory.

Chelsea player ratings vs Hull
Robert Sanchez: 6/10
Has had comfortable outings that have not resulted in clean sheets lately, although Robert Sanchez will be delighted he can finally put that run to bed.
Reece James: 7/10
Typically classy performance from Reece James, with the lower-league opposition clearly no match for his quality on the ball and 1v1 defending.
Wesley Fofana: 7/10
Nice and comfortable outing for Wesley Fofana, who was tasked with partnering a Chelsea defender on his domestic debut for the club.
Mamadou Sarr: 7/10
Mamadou Sarr enjoyed an impressive debut at the back for Chelsea, proving that he will clearly have a role to play for the Blues for the rest of this season.
Jorrel Hato: 8/10
Is enjoying somewhat of an upturn in form since Rosenior took over, and impressed again in the inverted full-back role.
Andrey Santos: 7/10
Another very strong performance from Andrey Santos, who continues to establish himself as a crucial player in the heart of this team under Rosenior.
Moises Caicedo: 7/10
A far better performance from Moises Caicedo after his struggles against Leeds a few days ago. Strong in the tackle, and showed signs of his best again despite clearly needing a rest soon.
Estevao Willian: 8/10
Estevao Willian was back amongst the goals for Chelsea after being handed his second consecutive start by Rosenior, enjoying a strong outing overall.
Pedro Neto: 10/10
Broke the deadlock in emphatic fashion from the edge of the box to put an end to some really poor play in the final third, before adding to the scoresheet direct from a corner.
A nice strike to go with a positive performance from Neto in the Number 10 role.
Even the Hull City fans were booing Alejandro Garnacho 🤣
What did you make of these two?

Alejandro Garnacho: 5/10
Frustrating at times, exciting at times. The enigma of Alejandro Garnacho continues. Overall, he probably didn’t do enough to bolster his minutes in the coming weeks.
Liam Delap: 7/10
On a night where Liam Delap had the chance to make a statement to his manager, he unfortunately did not take the opportunity to find the net.
With that said, a brilliant second half performance saw him end up on three assists on a mostly-productive night for the striker.
Josh Acheampong: N/A
Enzo Fernandez: N/A
Tosin Adarabioyo: N/A
A nice welcome back to the first team picture for the most experienced outfield player at the club.
Jesse Derry: N/A
Nice to see the youngster handed a debut by Rosenior.
Shumaira Mheuka: N/A
