Saul Niguez scored his first Chelsea goal as the Blues beat Luton Town 3-2 at Kenilworth Road in the FA Cup.

Chelsea had to earn their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals the hard way, but they did it following a valiant second-half performance.

The Blues were looking to move on from their EFL Cup final defeat to Liverpool last weekend by reaching the quarter-finals, which they did in a difficult fashion.

Well done lads! ??? Next round ? @EmiratesFACup @ChelseaFC https://t.co/UOyXehYqXm

Burke and Cornick scored within 2 and 40 minutes into the game, respectively, before Saul scored his first goal for the Blues, putting Thomas Tuchel’s team 2-1 down at halftime.

1:42 – Reece Burke’s header for Luton after 102 seconds is the quickest goal Chelsea have conceded in all competitions this season. Stunned.

Tuchel, on the other hand, maintained faith in both Lukaku and Werner, and they rewarded him brilliantly.

Loftus-Cheek’s assist was converted by Werner, who then sent up Lukaku for the winner.

Werner gets into the channel and then to the byline and crosses for Lukaku to turn it home! ?

Luton fans were on the verge of getting their moment of glory, but Jones’ fit squad couldn’t keep Chelsea at away for the whole 90 minutes.

In the second 45 minutes, they managed to put Kepa to the test, putting them under pressure for the duration of the half.

Gritty and resilient! ?

For the time being, they will concentrate on advancing to the Championship playoffs, while Chelsea can still dream of winning another domestic trophy.

?“Very happy to score my first goal with the blues. Come on!! Next round Chelsea FC,” – Saul wrote on his twitter page.
