Welbeck’s Chelsea debut seals 2-0 League Cup win over Luton Town
Chelsea beat Luton Town 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the League Cup second round, with Welbeck scoring on his Chelsea debut from Malo Gusto’s cross and a late own goal by Estêvão after Barco won the ball in midfield; Rogers hit the post in the first half, and Chelsea had a late chance to add a third. Debuts were full for Penders, Welbeck, and Barco, including Welbeck’s debut goal. A 10-second substitution rule briefly left Chelsea with ten men. Chelsea advance to the third round to face Leeds United, with Brighton next up in the schedule.
