Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Guiu opened their accounts for the west Londoners in the 12th and 13th minutes respectively.

Felix then scored his second to add to the ever-increasing scoreline with Chelsea’s next attack and send the home fans into dreamland heading into the break.

It was an unforgettable first half for Enzo Fernández, who contributed three assists, equaling the total he achieved last season.

Chelsea’s 6-0 half-time lead was the largest scoring margin established by an English team in a major European match since Derby County in September 1976.

The Rams were up 9-0 at half-time during their UEFA Cup tie against Finn Harps at the Baseball Ground, before beating their Irish opponents 12-0.

But although Chelsea failed to equal that score, they did set a new record in the Conference League and equaled another in the tournament created in 2021.

The previous record for the biggest win was Norwegian Nordsjaelland’s 7-1 win over Bulgarian side Ludogerets in October 2023.

Chelsea were unable to add a ninth goal to their tally but managed to avoid conceding late to record their first clean sheet since beating Barrow 5-0 in the Carabao Cup in September.

The victory means Chelsea have won each of their three Conference League games this season to go top of the 36-team table.

Incredibly, they have scored a whopping 16 goals in the process, having also eliminated Gent and Panathinaikos.

It was the perfect night for manager Enzo Maresca as his team prepares to face Arsenal London on Sunday.
