In a 3-5-2 formation, manager Joe Edwards deployed Anjorin and Tariq Uwakwe in midfield and the pair had a hand in four of the six goals scored by Chelsea.
In their match report, Chelsea stated on their official website : ''The wing-back duo of Castillo and Tariq Lamptey continued on the flanks, while Uwakwe and Tino Anjorin came into midfield.
''The latter along with striker George Nunn, who started on the bench, had signed his first professional contract at the club days earlier.''
Anjorin signed a scholarship deal with Chelsea in July 2018 along with Ola Aina's sibling Jordan who turns 17 on December 10, 2018.
