Chelsea ruthlessly snatches three points away from Gent in a superb home game that ended with a 4-2 in favor of the Blues. Renato shines with the highest goal contribution in the game as Mudryk, Pedro, Nkunku, and Hall fire Chelsea to victory.
Chelsea Shines In Dominating Victory Over Gent
The match took place in Stanford Bridge and kick-started at 8:02. Chelsea played a 4-2-3-1 formation with Jorgensen, Disasi, Tosin, Badiashile, Veiga, Casadei, Dewsbury-Hall, Neto, Joao Felix, Mudryk and Nkunku as the starting eleven. Gent features a 3-4-3 formation against Chelsea with Roef, Brown, Watanabe, Mitrovic, Torunarigha, Gambor, Fadiga, Delorge, Ito, Surdez, and Gudjohnsen.
Both teams started by playing a high line, and just 12 minutes into the game, Renato Veiga found the net for Chelsea with a trilling assist from Mudryk after he managed to place a perfect cross to Renato. It was Renato’s first goal for Chelsea, and it marked the beginning of his exploits with the club. Chelsea maintained domination from the early minutes of the first half; however, their domination reduced towards the last ten minutes of the first half. Generally, the team played well in the first half, with a lag from Badiashile in his defensive role.
At the opening of the second half, Chelsea proved to still have their head in the game by scoring another goal orchestrated by Disasi, who provided the assist, and Pedro Neto, who sealed it with a beautiful finish. With this goal, it has become a frequent and expected occurrence for Chelsea to score in the early minutes of the second half. Recall they scored in the 48th minute against Barrow, 41st against Brighton, and 47th minute against Westham.
Gent responded to Chelsea’s second goal by finding the back of the net four minutes after Pedro scored. Watanabe scored it with an assist from Guojohnsen. Watanabe might have been tagged as playing out of his position since he is expected to be defensive rather than attack. Christopher Nkunku has continued to prove he is a star boy after he scored the third goal for Chelsea in an impressive rush in the 63rd minute. Renato provided the assistance to secure one goal and an assist against Gent.
Guojohnsen had a good play time, with the only goal for Gent before he was substituted in the sixty-fourth minute for Max Dean. Seventy minutes into the game, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall showcased class as he scored his first goal for Chelsea. His celebration sent a message to fans about his improvement and smartness as he pointed towards his skull with euphoria.
Omri Gandelman performed as a super sub in the last minutes of the second half when he scored just twelve minutes after he replaced Delorge. Meanwhile, he got a clean assist from Dean, another substitute who replaced Gent’s only goal scorer.
The captain of the Chelsea team, Axel Disasi, was issued a yellow card in the seventy-second minute, and he missed a huge chance on goal but had good blocking and tackling on his defensive end. Archie Brown also tried his best to keep up with the tempo he expressed during the interview but still got booked with a yellow card in the extra minutes of the game.
Chelsea possessed 72%, leaving Gent with 29%. Both clubs had 92% and 82% pass accuracy, respectively. With five shots on target for Chelsea and four successful conversions, that would be a decent number to call the team world-class. Gent also had a good conversion rate, with three shots on target and two goals.
