English-born midfielder of Ghanaian heritage, Samuel Rak-Sakyi, made his first-team debut for Chelsea in a commanding 8-0 triumph over Armenian side FC Noah in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday evening.
Chelsea set a new milestone with their biggest-ever victory in the competition, fielding a completely rotated lineup compared to their previous Premier League outing.
The Blues surged to a 6-0 lead by halftime and continued their dominance with two more goals in the second half.
The scoring opened when Tosin Adarabioyo powered in a header from an Enzo Fernandez corner.
Moments later, Marc Guiu capitalized on a defensive lapse from Noah, doubling Chelsea’s advantage.
Axel Disasi followed up with another header from a Fernandez delivery, while Joao Felix added to the tally with a composed finish after a well-timed pass from Fernandez.
Mykhailo Mudryk produced the standout goal of the night, curling an exquisite strike into the top corner. Felix secured his brace with a deflected shot, extending Chelsea’s commanding lead.
Christopher Nkunku, who had earlier struck the crossbar, netted Chelsea’s seventh from a tight angle after his initial effort was parried.
He later completed the scoring with a powerful penalty down the middle.
Rak-Sakyi’s milestone moment came in the 79th minute when he replaced Nkunku, marking his debut for the senior squad.
The promising midfielder is the younger sibling of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, currently on loan from Crystal Palace to Sheffield United in the Championship.
