FULL TIME - Chelsea 8-0 Noah
It's full time at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have done their job and they now sit top of the Europa Conference League group phase after a thumping performance at Stamford Bridge.
Tosin Adarabioyo got things underway with his first goal for the club before Marc Guiu, Axel Disasi and Joao Felix added three more in quick succession.
Felix and Mykhaylo Mudryk put the Blues six up just before the break and Christopher Nkunku bagged a brace for himself in the second period to round up the scoring.
Chelsea 8-0 Noah
90+4. Filip Jorgensen is rolling on the floor in pain holding his head after rushing out to grab the ball from the Noah attacker.
Thankfully he gets up and is okay.

90+2. A huge chance for a big moment!
Carney Chukwuemeka escapes down the right for Chelsea, and his left footed shot on goal is deflected out by the Noah goalkeeper.
The ball bounces out to Sam Rak-Sakyi, but he is just leaning back as his shot goes over the bar.
The youngster should have many more chances to get his first Chelsea goal in future games at least.

90. Willy Caballero on the Chelsea bench raises an arm in frustration as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall wastes a chance to add a ninth goal to Chelsea's already impressive lead.
The fourth official's board goes up, and there will be four minutes added on.
That announcement is greeted with chants of "We want ten".

88. Noah have another shot from inside the box, but Jorgensen saves again after some good work from the Armenian visitors.
Lots of home fans are heading for the exits now to beat the traffic - I mean that's poor, you could easily miss another 5 goals here!

85. Noah get forwards and have a chance from close range with a header, but Jorgensen saves it with ease.
You almost want them to score just for their fans, who have been brilliant all night.
Chelsea 8-0 Noah
80. Into the last ten minutes here, and you can tell Joao Felix is keen on getting his hat-trick.
He lashes a shot from distance well over the bar.
Just a minute later Carney Chukwuemeka gets down the right, and sets up Casadei for a shot from range, but he forces a good save from the Noah goalkeeper.

77. Samuel Rak-Sakyi is ready to enter play here, as the young number 51 comes on for his Chelsea debut.
What a moment for the youngster who replaces Christopher Nkunku.
GOALLLLLLLL! Chelsea 8-0 Noah
74. The Chelsea fans continue to chant as Christopher Nkunku holds the ball in his hands, ready to take the penalty.
They certainly want an eighth goal here.
Nkunku steps up...
AND HE SCORES!
Straight down the middle from the Frenchman.
PENALTY! Chelsea 7-0 Noah
73. It's a penalty to Chelsea after the referee takes a look at the screen!
Stamford Bridge erupts once more!
VAR CHECK, POSSIBLE PENALTY: Chelsea 7-0 Noah
71. Chants of "WE WANT EIGHT" come from the Matthew Harding stand, as Carney Chukwuemeka blasts a shot wide of the goal with Joao Felix cowering in the net to stay onside.
There may have been a foul in the box on Christopher Nkunku however in the build up, and VAR will check that.
The referee goes over to the screen...
GOALLLLLL! Chelsea 7-0 Noah
68. It's seven heaven for Chelsea, and after a great move by Joao Felix, it's Christopher Nkunku who has his goal at last.
It was at the second time of asking, but counts all the same.
He doesn't perform his signature balloon celebration, perhaps a touch of respect from the Chelsea man.
Chelsea 6-0 Noah
65. Carney Chukwuemeka is ready to come on for Chelsea here, as Noah press forward with the ball.
Pinson gets down the left and wins a corner from Axel Disasi.
The Noah fans go wild as their side win a corner.

62. Safe to say incoming Chelsea star Willian Estevao is happy with what he's seeing over in Brazil.

59. Just a reminder in case you were wondering, Chelsea's biggest ever win was a 13-0 triumph over JeunesseHautcharge in the first round of the cup winners cup in 1971.
The Blues will need seven goals in the next 30 minutes or so if they want to better that.
Not impossible by any stretch, but if the rest of their shots are like that one from Joao Felix then they won't make it...
OFF THE BAR! Chelsea 6-0 Noah
57. It's almost seven for Chelsea, as Nkunku turns once more inside the box and smashes a left-footed shot off of the crossbar and over.
He practically had one hand on the balloon there already.
Chelsea 6-0 Noah
54. Another big chance for Chelsea, this time it falls for Nkunku.
He receives the ball well and turns, but his shot is saved by the Noah goalkeeper.
It pings back out at Joao Felix, but the keeper holds onto it at the second time of asking.
Chelsea 6-0 Noah
52. A huge mistake from the Noah goalkeeper sees him pass the ball to Joao Felix from close range.
Felix is not expecting the pass, but takes a touch and has a go on goal anyway - but the goalkeeper atones for his sin.
Chelsea 6-0 Noah
50. Noah get their foot on the ball and have retained possession well here as they work the ball into midfield.
But as soon as they try to do anything incisive, Renato Veiga is on hand to cut it out.
Chelsea 6-0 Noah
48. Chelsea nicely work a corner into the box which falls to Benoit Badiashile.
But the only Chelsea centre-back not on the scoresheet is unable to make it there for now with a volley looped over the bar.
SECOND HALF: Chelsea 6-0 Noah
46. Back underway for the second half here, and a long ball over the top is immediately played into Tyrique George.
A lovely bit of link-up play between him and Joao Felix sees Chelsea get the ball into the middle, but nothing comes of it this time.
HT Changes: Chelsea 6-0 Noah
HT. Two changes to report for Chelsea before we get back underway here at Stamford Bridge.
Enzo Fernandez has been replaced by Cesare Casadei, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is on for Marc Guiu.
HALF-TIME: Chelsea 6-0 Noah
HT. The referee blows the whistle for half-time.
45. Chelsea 6-0 Noah
There will be just one minute of added time at the end of the first half, which sees a collective sigh of relief come from the Noah fans and players.
Just one more half to go, lads...
GOALLLLL! IT'S SIX! Chelsea 6-0 Noah
42. The goals are flooding in once more at Stamford Bridge (no I won't get bored of that pun).
This time the ball is rolled into Joao Felix on the left, and he cuts it back under his spell past the defender and fires a shot at the far side of the goal.
It takes a big deflection and beats the Noah keeper, who is going to be suffering from back pain after picking the ball up out of his net for the sixth time.
