At Kenilworth Road, Chelsea lead Luton Town 2-0 at half-time with goals from Cole Palmer, who capitalized on a mistake by Issa Kabore described as a 'late Christmas present', and Noni Madueke, who scored a 'beauty' and was praised for a 'WHAT A HIT' goal. The match, which is currently underway, is being broadcast live and features Chelsea's pursuit of a European place while Luton Town aims to escape the bottom three. Chelsea's performance in the first half was described as a 'rare experience' of being clinical and comfortable under Mauricio Pochettino, despite a few comedic moments. Madueke's goal marks his second in as many games.
It wouldn't be 2023/24 Chelsea without a pinch of comedy to end the half. π https://t.co/iijV17YWrc
Chelsea not particularly good in that half but impressively ruthless with their chances. Nice to see Madueke building on his Palace cameo. Need to stop giving Luton cheap free-kicks and corners #CFC

This is basically the team Chelsea need to play to do well. Luton like to press well, less happy to just sit in a deep block and mud out a 0-0/1-0 score.
