Chelsea vs Morecambe LIVE: Latest score, goals and updates from FA Cup

Chelsea‘s best goals of 2020

Lampard will be desperate to win his first piece of silverware as a manager and came within touching distance in this competition last season, when the Blues were defeated by Arsenal in the final at Wembley. He has largely resisted the opportunity to heavily rotate his squad with Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech all starting. 

Morecambe have enjoyed a fine start to their season in England’s fourth tier, where they are five points adrift of leaders Carlisle with a game in hand. However, their last two games have been postponed after a Covid-19 outbreak at the club and it’s yet to be seen what players will be available for the match. 

We’ll have all the latest updates from Stamford Bridge throughout the afternoon:

HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 2-0 MORECAMBE

Chelsea have another chance with seconds of the half remaining but Werner is crowded out in the box before he can shoot. But Frank Lampard will be happier after that second goal just before the break. It’s given his side a cushion, while Morecambe will be deflated after defending resolutely throughout the half.

GOAL! CHELSEA 2-0 MORECAMBE (WERNER 44’)

Chelsea suddenly turn on the style. Ziyech cuts onto his left foot and whips a cross towards Havertz, who nods a delicate header into the path of Werner a couple of yards out from goal. It’s an easy finish for the German, able to prod home into an empty net.

CHELSEA 1-0 MORECAMBE (43’)

Chelsea to continue to probe but there’s a paucity of ideas from the home side. Their attempts at intricate buildup play aren’t working and Morecambe, despite trailing, look fairly comfortable.

CHELSEA 1-0 MORECAMBE (40’)

More good defending from Morecambe, this time from Knight-Percival, who gets across to block a Mount cross and deny Azpilicueta at the near post.

CHELSEA 1-0 MORECAMBE (39’)

Havertz has a free header from a Chelsea corner but can only flick it a long way wide of the target. He’s struggled to make his mark so far today.

Hudson-Odoi links up with Mount and races away down the left again. He drives the ball low into the middle but it’s blocked at the near post by Davis.

CHELSEA 1-0 MORECAMBE (36’)

Decent effort from Phillips, who hits a dipping volley from the edge of the box and gives Kepa some work to do. It’s a routine save, but Chelsea need to be alert when Phillips is on the ball.
