Chelsea Advances in Carabao Cup with 2-0 Win Over Luton
Chelsea FC secured a 2-0 victory over Luton Town at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, advancing to the third round of the Carabao Cup. The match saw Chelsea's new signing, Danny Welbeck, score the opening goal five minutes into the second half, heading in a cross from Malo Gusto.
This marked Welbeck's first goal for Chelsea since joining the club. Chelsea dominated possession but struggled to break through Luton’s defense in the first half, with Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers coming close to scoring.
The second goal came from an own goal by Luton defender Hakeem Odoffin, following a deflected shot from Estêvão. Chelsea's victory sets up a third-round clash against Leeds United, who also won 2-0 against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Leeds’ goals were scored by Daniel James and James Justin, marking their second win over Nottingham Forest in a few days.
