Chelsea cruised into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 5-0 victory over Morecambe at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Tosin Adarabioyo and Joao Felix both scored twice, with Christopher Nkunku also getting on the scoresheet to knock the League Two side out of the competition. 

Chelsea started brightly and were given a chance to take the lead from the spot after Yann Sango'o handled the ball in the 16th minute, but Nkunku saw his penalty brilliantly saved by Harry Burgoyne, who then smothered the follow-up.

Tosin, who skimmed the woodwork with a header early on, found the breakthrough six minutes before half-time, with his long-range strike taking a huge deflection off Callum Jones on the way in. 

Nkunku made amends for his penalty miss five minutes after the break, reacting quickest to Renato Veiga's parried shot to turn it home, but three goals in seven minutes sealed Morecambe's fate, starting with Tosin bending in a stunning long-range strike after 70 minutes.

Felix then rounded off an impressive performance with a quickfire double from the edge of the box, finishing off a fine counter-attack for his first, before bending in a second just two minutes later. 

Morecambe almost gave the away fans something to cheer about late on as Harry Macadam beat Filip Jorgensen on a corner, but his glancing header was cleared off the line by Axel Disasi. 

Data Debrief: Into the hat

Despite a slightly below-par first half, Chelsea ensured there would be no FA Cup shock on Saturday, while also getting back to winning ways having gone winless in their last four outings.

Chelsea have now progressed from 36 of their 37 FA Cup ties against sides from a lower division, including each of the last 21 in a row since a 4-2 home defeat to Bradford City in January 2015.

They were the dominant side throughout, managing 28 shots, eight of which were on target, and despite Burgoyne's first-half efforts, he could not keep the scoreline down.

It means Morecambe have now lost all four of their Premier League opposition by an aggregate score of 15-1 as their struggles this season continued.
