Early morning of September 25 (Vietnam time), 4 matches continued to take place in round 3 of the Carabao Cup, with Chelsea and Manchester City participating.
Chelsea hosted Barrow, who are playing in League Two, and they won 5-star. It was a memorable night for Christopher Nkunku, as he quickly scored 2 goals in the first half (minutes 8 and 15), before completing his hat-trick in the 75th minute.
Pedro Neto, a new signing for coach Enzo Maresca last summer, also scored in the second half, after Barrow's Paul Farman had scored an own goal, to make it 5-0.
This is Chelsea's third consecutive win in all competitions without conceding a goal. Previously, The Blues won 1-0 and 3-0 against West Ham - both away, in the Premier League.
In their current good form, Chelsea are certainly confident of hosting Brighton in the Premier League this weekend.
Meanwhile, Manchester City also played at home against Championship opponent Watford. Coach Pep Guardiola fielded a team with many substitutes, but still included Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku.
It took the Premier League champions just five minutes to open the scoring through Doku, with Matheus Nunes - Neto's former Wolves team-mate - scoring his first goal for the Citizens just minutes before the break.
Despite dominating the game with 70% ball possession and 22 shots throughout the match, Man City did not score any more goals.
In contrast, the visitors got a consolation goal from Tom Ince in the final minutes, with his only shot on target.
Although not too jubilant, the 2-1 score was enough for Man City to hold a ticket to round 4 with Leicester City and Aston Villa - the 2 teams that won at Walsall and Wycombe Wanderers.
