Chelsea can add some color to its gray season in the League Cup. It is the first finalist after a resounding victory against Middlesbrough. The visitors suffered a 6-1 beating, a bitter pill after the 1-0 win in the first match.
With a 9th place in the Premier League, there is no reason for euphoria for Chelsea, but fortunately the League Cup can provide some comfort this season.
The home team was under pressure after the 1-0 in the first leg, but an own goal from Howson immediately erased that deficit.
Then, without any strong holders, Middlesbrough became Chelsea’s plaything at Stamford Bridge.
Two weeks ago Chelsea missed the opportunities, tonight there was no defensive stunt work at the English second division.
Only shortly before the time of the honour-savior could the fans who accompanied him have a (cynical) laugh.
6-1: Chelsea can go to Wembley and meet Liverpool or Fulham there on February 25. The leader in the Premier League won the first leg 2-1.
