were treated to a glimpse of their future on Wednesday when Charly Musonda scored his first Blues goal against Nottingham Forest.
The west Londoners made light work of Championship side Forest in the Carabao Cup third round, with Musonda, Kenedy and Michy Batshuayi all scoring in an easy win.
Antonio Conte opted to field a much-changed line-up for the match, looking towards Chelsea's youth; Ethan Ampadu, Dujon Sterling and Jake Clarke-Salter all came off the bench to show the talent in the Blues' academy.
But it was Musonda who stole the show, and Chelsea fans took to Twitter to react to his excellent performance.
