Chelsea advance to fourth round of Carabao Cup on penalties

Up next for Chelsea is another home encounter in the fourth round of the competition when they host Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Southampton who also needed penalties to work their way past Sheffield United at Bramall Lane yesterday evening after a 2-2 draw.
Timo Werner found his way on the scoresheet nine minutes after the restart before Villa drew level through 19-year-old Cameron Archer ten minutes later.
Loftus-Cheek turns back time in brilliant display
On a night where Cobham product Trevoh Chalobah won many plaudits for his 90-minute display at the Bridge, England international midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek turned the clock back in a fantastic display at the heart of the Chelsea midfield.
Whatever happens in this penalty shoot-out, there have been reminders of Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s class in his performance for #CFC tonight. Still a Rolls Royce of a player there, and operating at the base of midfield tonight

Deployed as the midfield anchor in an uncharacteristic utilization, Loftus-Cheek was at the center of all phases of play for Chelsea on both sides of the ball in a performance that included an 88% pass completion rate, 100% dribble success rate, 8/11 ground duels won, and 3 chances created which included 1 big chance.
For Loftus-Cheek, player that was very much on the outside looking in this summer when many expected the native of Lewisham to follow Tammy Abraham to the eternal city in a move to AS Roma, his vintage display could have well given Tuchel something to think about after Saul Ñíguez has not started brightly in his season loan from Atlético Madrid.

The former Fulham (2020-21) and Crystal Palace (2017-18) loanee has every chance to work his way back into his managers thinking given Chelsea’s lack of options in the center of the park as just N’Golo Kanté, Jorginho, and Mateo Kovačić are the only long-term midfield options at the club.
