Chelsea faced Hull City in the FA Cup and managed to qualify for the round of 16 with relative ease. After an initial struggle that lasted forty minutes against Hull's defense, Chelsea broke the deadlock with Pedro Neto's first goal and subsequently found the match more manageable. Despite missing the injured Marc Cucurella, Chelsea dominated the match thereafter, showcasing their superior skills.

Before Neto's opening goal, Chelsea had a series of missed opportunities, with three clear chances squandered, including an embarrassing moment from Liam Delap who failed to score after a lucky rebound from the Hull goalkeeper. This moment highlighted Chelsea's struggles in the early stages of the match, where they were unable to capitalize on their advantages. However, as the match progressed, confidence grew, and they were able to dictate play effectively.

Pedro Neto emerged as the standout player of the match, not only scoring a hat trick but also contributing important assists. His performance exemplified Chelsea's resilience and attacking prowess, which will be crucial as they move further in the tournament. This victory, though it required some initial patience, sets the stage for Chelsea's aspirations to make a deep run in the FA Cup this season.
