Chelsea emulated Germany's World Cup heroes of 2014 by slapping their opponents 7-1 on Wednesday night, except on a much smaller stage, against much weaker opposition than Brazil - no disrespect to Grimsby Town.
The Blues cruised to victory over the League Two side at Stamford Bridge in the third round of the Carabao Cup. The romp will be a welcome relief for Frank Lampard as it constituted his first success at his adopted home since taking the managerial reins in July.
Typical of his tenure so far, it was the kids who were central to a fine attacking display as Reece James, Billy Gilmour and Marc Guehi shone on debut, while Callum Hudson-Odoi was also impressive on his return from an Achilles injury.
