Watch Chelsea Vs Shamrock Rovers highlights as teenager Marc Guiu’s first-half hat-trick sent the Blues on their way to a 5-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Already qualified for the last-16, Enzo Maresca’s<\/a> men made it six from six to finish top of the league phase of this year’s Europa Conference League.<\/p>\n

Despite dominating from the first whistle, it took Chelsea<\/a> 22 minutes to break the deadlock.<\/p>\n

Eighteen-year-old striker Guiu made the most of a mistake between Rovers’ keeper Loen Pohls and Darragh Burns to give the hosts the lead.<\/p>\n

Rovers equalised within minutes, though. Having twice gone close through Johnny Kenny, they restored parity thanks to Markus Poom’s deflected effort.<\/p>\n

His strike found its way in via Chelsea’s Cesare Casadei, sending the 3,000 travelling Shamrock fans wild.<\/p>\n

But the hosts quickly silenced the visiting support. Daniel Cleary’s poor back pass gifted Guiu another opportunity, with the youngster converting from a narrow angle.<\/p>\n

A third Chelsea goal came from Keirnan Dewsbury-Hall, who reacted quicker to a loose ball in the Shamrock Rovers box.<\/p>\n

Guiu then completed his first-half hat-trick in stoppage time before the break, heading home from close range to make it 4-1 at the break.<\/p>\n

The hosts completed the scoring when defender Marc Cucurella’s<\/a> low effort squeezed in off the post to beat Pohls and round off the victory.<\/p>\n
