Chelsea locked horns with Hull City at the MKM Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the FA Cup. The Blues made a good start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 40th minute when Pedro Neto found the back of the net. Liam Rosenior’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Neto doubled his side’s advantage in the 51st minute before Estevao made it 3-0 to Chelsea just eight minutes later. Neto completed his hat-trick in the 71st minute as the West London giants earned a dominant 4-0 win away from home.
