Chelsea smash Shamrock Rovers in Europe
Marc Guiu scored a hat-trick as Chelsea thrashed Shamrock Rovers 5-1 to top the UEFA Europa Conference League table with six wins from six games.
Enzo Maresca's side has now won eight consecutive matches in all competitions after making light work of its latest opponents in Europe.
Guiu netted his first after 22 minutes when a defensive mix-up left him with a simple header into an empty net.
Rovers gave their noisy away support something to cheer just four minutes later when Markus Poom's deflected effort brought his side level, but it was a brief reprieve.
Guiu capitalised on another error to round goalkeeper Leon Pohls and put his side back in front, before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored his second Chelsea goal to make it 3-1.
The Spanish striker had earned himself the match ball before half-time, heading smartly into the corner after a well-worked set-piece routine.
Marc Cucurella powered forward to get himself on the scoresheet just shy of the hour mark, slotting home with his right foot to establish a lead that his side easily saw out.
