Mheuka hits hat-trick as Chelsea thrash Benfica in UYL

Chelsea won the tie 5-2 on the day with Mheuka dominating the scoresheet.

Ryan Kavuma-McQueen and Kobe Barbour also struck late on to take the game away from Benfica. Irish whiz  Jaden Umeh and Daniel Banjaqui scored for Benfica.

But it was Mheuka's day, with the teen also wearing the captain's armband on the day. The talented winger scored twice from the spot before capping his hat-trick with a goal after the hour mark.

Also starting in midfield was Landon Emenalo, the son of former Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo.
