Chelsea punched their tickets to the Carabao Cup semifinals with a 3–1 victory over Cardiff City, but the win was slightly lackluster for the Blues.
Enzo Maresca’s men were concerningly poor in the first half, managing just one shot on target against the League One side. Alejandro Garnacho, who came on at half-time, turned the game around for the visitors with his first goal in his last eight appearances.
