Chelsea Dominates Noah with Record-Breaking 8-0 Victory at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea Football Club delivered an unforgettable performance on Thursday night, smashing Armenian side Noah 8-0 in their UEFA Conference League clash at Stamford Bridge. This commanding win not only set a new benchmark for the competition, but it also marked Chelsea's biggest victory since 2012.
The match exploded into action with six goals in the first half, setting the tone for what would become one of the most comprehensive victories in recent years. Just 12 minutes in, Tosin Adarabioyo opened the scoring with a header from a corner, followed almost immediately by Marc Guiu, who intercepted a pass and slotted home Chelsea's second. The Blues didn't let up, with Axel Disasi adding another header from a Fernandez corner just five minutes later, followed by Joao Felix's neat finish to make it 4-0 within the first 20 minutes.
The attacking onslaught continued with Mykhailo Mudryk’s stunning 20-yard shot that flew into the top corner, and Felix once again finding the back of the net, capping off a whirlwind first half at 6-0. While fans were hopeful that Chelsea might surpass their record victory of 13-0, set in 1971, Noah managed to stem the flow in the second half, although the Blues added two more to their tally.

Christopher Nkunku was the hero of the second half, netting two goals within seven minutes. His first came in the 69th minute, capitalizing on a rebound to make it 7-0, and his second was from the penalty spot in the 76th minute. Chelsea continued to press forward, with Nkunku and Carney Chukwuemeka coming close to adding even more goals.
Despite the one-sided nature of the match, Noah did manage a couple of early chances. Just two minutes in, Goncalo Gregorio nearly stunned Stamford Bridge with a powerful shot that Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen managed to keep out with his upper body. However, any hopes of a surprise upset were quickly dashed as Chelsea's relentless attacking play overwhelmed the visitors.
The game also marked a special moment for Chelsea, as the club honored former player John Dempsey, who had passed away earlier in the week. Dempsey, who was part of the team that secured the 8-0 win over Jeunesse Hautcharage in 1971, was remembered with applause from the fans as his legacy was celebrated.
With this impressive victory, Chelsea remain top of their group in the Conference League, boasting a goal difference of +13, and continue their perfect start to the competition. Now, attention turns to the upcoming London derby against Arsenal, where Chelsea will face a much tougher test as they aim to extend their winning run.
This 8-0 victory will go down in history as one of Chelsea's most dominant performances in European competition, further solidifying their place as one of the elite teams in European football.
