Welbeck scores first Chelsea goal in League Cup win over Luton
The 35-year-old Danny Welbeck shows he can be a useful addition to Xabi Alonso’s squad in the 2-0 win.
Chelsea secured a League Cup victory over third-tier Luton in a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge, marking Danny Welbeck's first goal for the club. Welbeck, signed from Brighton on a two-year deal as a veteran striker, scored the opening goal by heading Malo Gusto's cross. Despite a goalless first half, Welbeck's goal broke Luton's resistance to advance the Blues to the League Cup third round.
Hakeem Odoffin's own goal sealed the tie for Chelsea, and they secured a home tie against Leeds in the last 32. Robert Sanchez replaced Robert Sanchez in goal following his error-strewn performance against Fulham, and Xabi Alonso may soon have the experience of Emi Martinez joining from Aston Villa.
