Chelsea reached the Carabao Cup final by blowing away second-tier Middlesbrough’s 6-2 aggregate victory. Blue, who lost 1-0 to Boro in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final, won 6-1 in the second leg at home. Blue scored four times in the first half through Jonny Howson’s own goal, Enzo Fernandez, Axel Disasi, and Cole Palmer. Palmer netted again in the second half before Noni Madueke got Chelsea’s sixth.
They will play either Liverpool or Fulham at Wembley on 25 February – the first cup final Chelsea have reached since losing both the EFL Cup and FA Cup on penalties to Liverpool in 2022.
