UEFA CONFERENCE LEAGUE : THURSDAY – 19/12/2024 (PHOTO – MARC GUIU CELEBRATES SCORING A HAT-TRICK)

CHELSEA’S 18 YEAR-OLD MARC GUIU WAS UNDOUBTEDLY THE ‘HAT-TRICK-HERO’ OF THE NIGHT LAST NIGHT AFTER SCORING THREE CRACKERS FOR THE BLUES AT STAMFORD BRIDGE. HE OPENED THE MATCH WITH HIS FIRST STUNNER AT 22 MINS., BUT WITH SHAMROCK ROVERS’ MARKUS POOM SCORING A FANTASTIC GOAL SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AT 26 MINS., WHICH WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE LEGS OF SEVERAL CHELSEA PLAYERS, BOUNCING OFF THE GROUND AND INTO THE BACK-OF-THE-NET, (AND HAD THEIR 3,000 STRONG TRAVELLING FANS JUMPING UP-AND-DOWN AND LITERALLY CLIMBING OVER THE BARRIERS TO CONGRATULATE HIM), IT MADE FOR AN EARLY WAKE-UP CALL FOR THE BLUES ON JUST HOW MUCH QUALITY ‘THE HOOPS, ROVERS’ COULD POSSIBLY HAVE UP THEIR SLEEVES! MARC GUIU WASN’T HAVING ANY OF IT THOUGH, AND GOT HOLD OF THE BALL SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, HITTING THE BACK-OF-THE-NET WITH A SUPERB SHOT AT 34 MINS., AND THEN IT WAS OVER TO TEAM-MATE KIERNAN DEWSBURY-HALL TO SCORE A BLINDER AT 40 MINS. AND THEN BACK TO MARC GUIU TO SCORE YET AGAIN AT 45 +3 MINS., MEANING THAT GUIU HAD SCORED THREE GOALS IN THE FIRST HALF! AND WITH MARK CUCURELLA SCORING A BEAUT AT 58 MINS., THIS EXCITING MATCH CULMINATED IN A 5 – 1 WIN TO CHELSEA!
