Published: December 12, 2021

Chelsea have booked their place in the next round of the FA Youth Cup after a comfortable 4-1 rout of Leyton Orient on Sunday afternoon.

2019 Golden Eaglets invitee Prince Adegoke started between the sticks for Chelsea , Anglo-German-Nigerian fullback Derrick Abu and highly-rated Leyton Orient box-to-box midfielder Ayodele Ojo were named on the bench.

Chelsea's early pressure paid off when Malik Mothersille converted a ball in from Andersson in the 19th minute before
Jude Soonsup-Bell finished into the top corner to make it 2-0 five minutes later.

The game ended as a contest when Silko Thomas finished brilliantly in the 37th minute for 3-0.

On 63 minutes, Leyton Orient pulled a goal back as Tanga drilled the ball into the left corner after good work from Charlie Pegrum.

On as a substitute to replace Mothersille midway through the second half, Abu restored Chelsea's three-goal cushion as he headed home despite the goalkeeper's attempts to keep it out in the 78th minute.

Abu, who is on a professional contract at Chelsea, made his FA Youth Cup debut against Leyton Orient.

Nine-time winners Chelsea will face Watford in the fourth round of the competition.
