Chelsea were determined to win 3 points despite playing away at Luton Town. They proactively pushed up their formation and quickly put pressure on their opponents. Meanwhile, the home team, who were considered weaker, proactively withdrew their formation and focused on defense.
However, Luton Town only held out for 12 minutes. Kabore made a disastrous pass, allowing Cole Palmer to shoot dangerously in the box, opening the score for Chelsea. Having lost early, Luton Town were forced to attack hard to find an equalizer. Coach Rob Edwards' players played with determination, causing Chelsea a lot of trouble.
Cole Palmer shined in the match against Luton Town.
Luton Town's problem is the ability of their attacking players to create opportunities. In midfield, Ross Barkley had an impressive day. He competed well and confidently passed Chelsea players. But when the midfielder passed the ball, his teammates could not take advantage.
Unable to find a way into the opponent's goal, Luton Town had to pay a heavy price. In the 38th minute, Cole Palmer again made a delicate pass for Madueke to finish strongly, doubling the gap for Chelsea. The first half ended with a big advantage for the away team.
In the second half, Chelsea continued to show their efficiency. They did not put as much pressure on their opponents as in the first 45 minutes but still scored more goals. In the 70th minute, Jackson had a very smart pass for Cole Palmer to escape. He passed 2 opposing defenders and scored to increase the score to 3-0.
The three goals conceded unexpectedly awakened Luton Town's determination. They attacked tirelessly and constantly made Chelsea's defense falter. Morris and Adebayo hit the crossbar twice.
In the 81st minute, the first goal came to Luton Town with a dangerous header from Ross Barkley from a corner kick by his teammate. 6 minutes later, Adebayo came in to score the rebound after Doughty's dangerous shot.
