Nkunku hits hat-trick as Chelsea thrash Barrow in Carabao Cup
Nkunku opened the scoring in the eighth minute with a cool finish after a fine chipped pass from Joao Felix.
The forward soon added his second with a clever flick to divert Malo Gusto’s low cross into the net, before a Felix free-kick hit the post and bounced in off Barrow goalkeeper Paul Farman to give the Blues a 3-0 half-time lead.
