Christopher Nkunku scored his first hat trick for Chelsea to help his side ease into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a a 5-0 thrashing of League Two’s Barrow at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
Nkunku scored the opening two goals by the 15th minute and rounded off the scoring in the 75th. In between was an own-goal by Barrow’s Paul Farman and a tap-in by Pedro Neto for his first Chelsea goal.
