Loton Town – FC Chelsea 2: 3 (2: 1)

Chelsea struggled to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals. Hours after club owner Roman Abramovich announced his intention to sell the club, he avoided a humiliating 3: 2 (1: 2) defeat in last season’s second division with Louis Vuitton. Two minutes later, Reese Burg, who was sixth in the championship table, took the lead, while Sal Ogius (27th) equalized and then faced Loron with Harry Cornick (40th). In the second half, after the final defeat in the League Cup against Liverpool on Sunday (10:11 after penalties), Chelsea put pressure on a draw, having been replaced by coach Thomas Tucsall for a total of nine places. This was achieved by German national player Timo Werner, who played from the start like his DFB teammate Antonio Rudiger (68th). Romelu Lukaku (78th) finally scored the winning goal for Chelsea.
