Enzo's £50m back-up plan

NKUNKU IS A REAL TREBLE MAKER

- CHARLIE GORDON

CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU bagged a hat-trick against League Two Barrow as Chelsea breezed into the fourth round.

The Frenchman struck twice inside a quarter of an hour and once more to round off the scoring, by which time Barrow's misery had been compounded by Pedro Neto and an own goal.

Enzo Maresca made 11 changes to the side that battered West Ham on Saturday.

But with three players in his back-up XI costing more than £50m, it was still nowhere near a fair fight.

The manager even felt comfortable enough to hand outcast Ben Chilwell his first minutes of the season as a half-time substitute, with fans giving him a rapturous reception.
