Chelsea secured their place in the FA Cup fifth round with a convincing 4-0 victory over Hull City at the MKM Stadium on Friday. Striker Liam Delap endured a difficult start, missing a clear opportunity after blocking a clearance from Hull goalkeeper Dillon Phillips, with the ball hitting the crossbar. Delap later admitted, "It was silly from me, but I thought it was in."
Despite the early error, Delap recovered to play a pivotal role, providing a hat-trick of assists. He set up Pedro Neto for Chelsea's opening goal in the 40th minute. Delap then assisted Estêvão for the third goal and completed his treble of assists by setting up Pedro Neto's third goal, completing Neto's hat-trick. Pedro Neto scored Chelsea's first, second, and fourth goals, while Estêvão added the third.
