Carabao Cup: Chelsea thrash Middlesbrough, qualify for final
Chelsea will play the final of the Carabao Cup this season.
This follows their 6-1 thrashing of Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.
The Blues were trailing 1-0 from the first leg of the semi-final clash.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men blew away Middlesbrough with a rampant first-half display to record a 6-2 aggregate victory.
They have now sealed their place against either Liverpool or Fulham in the Carabao Cup final.
Chelsea took command of the second leg before half-time thanks to Jonny Howson’s own goal, plus strikes from Enzo Fernandez, Axel Disasi and Cole Palmer.
The latter two of those four goals came after Boro were caught playing out from the back and that pattern continued in the second half, with errors by Michael Carrick’s team punished by Palmer and Noni Madueke.
Morgan Rogers added a late consolation goal for Boro
