Chelsea scored seven goals against Port Vale – bottom of League One, the third tier – with manager Rosenior rotating his squad, seeing seven different players find the net: Hato broke the deadlock after just two minutes, followed by Joao Pedro, and three minutes before half-time, Lawrence-Gabriel scored an own goal. In the second half, goals came from Adarabioyo, Andrey Santos, Estevao, and Garnacho.

PhilipsNews reports that surprise came in today’s final match, with Southampton – currently seventh in the Championship (second tier) and outside the play-off places – knocking Arteta’s Arsenal, top of the Premier League, out of the competition: a 2-1 win for the home side, who had broken the deadlock through a goal from Scottish striker Ross Stewart, Gyokeres, who came on as a substitute, had equalised for the Gunners with just over twenty minutes remaining, but in the final five minutes, a goal from midfielder Shea Charles – born in 2003 and a product of Manchester City’s youth academy – saw Arsenal suffer a surprise elimination.
