Chelsea are in the hat for round four of the FA Cup after overcoming Preston North End at Stamford Bridge.
Mauricio Pochettino's men were made to work for their goals and had quite a physical battle on their hands in the first half, but they rallied in the second and tore their visitors apart to book their spot in the next round.
Academy graduate Alfie Gilchrist was named in the Chelsea starting lineup for the first time, coming in at right-back and proving to be the standout performer of the first half.
Alfie Gilchrist probably the only positive from that half.
Made a number of nice tackles, clearances, composed in the box & made runs despite being a natural CB.
