  1. 'We can do something special this season'published at 21:46 BST

    FT: Chelsea 2-0 Luton

    Chelsea

    Chelsea forward Danny Welbeck speaking to Sky Sports: "It's obviously really special to score on your debut, so really pleased with that. More importantly, to get through to the next round. It's not always easy when you're facing a low block and to break teams down. I got on the end of a cross and I'm happy to get the first goal."

    On playing for Chelsea: "I'm feeling really good. It's obviously a privilege to play for such a club and when opportunities come round like this, it's really difficult to turn them down. I'm really happy to be here, really excited for the project ahead. I give it everything in training and then on game days, I will give it my best, too. My availability has been really good over the last few seasons and long may that continue."

    On what he brings to the squad in terms of experience: "Age! I bring the average age a little bit higher. The experience of playing games, being in good and bad dressing rooms and knowing what it takes to achieve something special and push the group in the right way."

    On the message from Xabi Alonso: "We have to take it step by step. We've got so much quality in that dressing room and we've added experience. we want to help the younger boys and we've got such a great group with so many talented players in there. We can do something special this season if we achieve our goals."

    On facing former club Brighton at the weekend: "I'm really excited, it will be nice to see some familiar faces as well. I had a great time at Brighton and I don't have a bad word to say about them. They helped me so much. I'm looking forward to it. I've played against loads of ex-teams in my time, so it won't be too strange."

    You'd think Alvaro Arbeloa will be pleased with this from his side.

    Relatively low fuss as they book their spot in the match against West Ham for a place in the fourth round.

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:41 BST

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Zack Nelson is shown a yellow card for a late stamp on the foot of Harrison Reed.

    The Fulham skipper isn't too happy about it either.

  7. 'Feels like there is a different energy coming into the season'published at 21:39 BST

    FT: Chelsea 2-0 Luton

    Chelsea

    Chelsea forward Cole Palmer speaking to Sky Sports: "It was difficult, we knew what they were going to do. No matter who you play against at any level, if a team sits back behind the ball, it is going to be difficult, but credit to Luton, they were good and it was a tough game."

    On how he is feeling: "I'm feeling good. Just about kicking on now and maintaining the level."

    On what he has learned from Xabi Alonso: "He was a top player himself, so he's telling me little bits, what positions to pick up and especially before the game, to look at the opposition and where we can hurt them."

    On the mix of youth and experience: "The new lads that have come in and even the lads that have been here, last season wasn't good enough, so I think everyone has had a look at themselves and it feels like there is a different energy coming into the season."

    On what the new energy can bring: "Hopefully wins, trophies, that's the ultimate aim. We know it's early days, but we keep pushing on. The gaffer has already said to us in every game and every competition we're there to win it essentially."

  8. CLOSE!published at 21:38 BST

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Quality play between Emile Smith Rowe and Gonzalo Garcia to set the Spaniard free.

    He tries to pick out the bottom corner but slots the wrong side of the post.

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Just back to the handball, it's definitely hit his arm and it was away from his body. I'm pretty sure VAR would've given the penalty.

  10. Postpublished at 21:35 BST

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Kenny Tete wants to get in on the act but it's a proper defender's effort as it spins wide.

  11. Postpublished at 21:34 BST

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    No VAR in use tonight, of course.

  12. Postpublished at 21:34 BST

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Fulham come forward again and Emile Smith Rowe picks up the loose ball on the edge of the box.

    His effort is charged down in the box and I'm pretty sure that's handball but nothing is given.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:32 BST

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Rodrigo Muniz comes off to a warm applause with Gonzalo Garcia taking his place.

    Cesar Palacios also enters the action in place of Kevin.

  14. 'A good start for Alonso'published at 21:31 BST

    FT: Chelsea 2-0 Luton

    Former Chelsea striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at Stamford Bridge

    Chelsea were always in control, Danny Welbeck with an excellent header for the first goal.

    Jack Wilshere will be mightily proud with the effort and the organisation which his team showed.

    It's another important win for Xabi Alonso, two from two.

    Leeds United will be a tougher test but they weren't really in much danger. They controlled the game and used the bench well.

    It's been a good start for Alonso.

    No European football for Chelsea so he knows how important it will be for him to try and win a trophy for Chelsea this season and if he can it will be a huge success but he has only just started.

  15. CLOSE!published at 21:30 BST

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Macauley Zepa gets it back from Kenny Tete when coming in off the right. He takes aim for the bottom corner but he fires the wrong side of the post.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:28 BST

    Fulham 2-0 AFC Wimbledon

    Luc De Fougerolles can't continue and he's replaced by Chibby Nwoko - who comes on for his debut.

    For Wimbledon, Zack Nelson and Jayden Stockley take the place of Aron Sasu and Callum Maycock.

  17. Alonso questions officials as Luton fans soak in the momentpublished at 21:26 BST

    FT: Chelsea 2-0 Luton

    New boss Xabi Alonso wears a smile after a win in his first home game as Chelsea manager, although he is in discussion with referee Elliot Bell following a bizarre substitution incident after the final whistle.

    Fourth official Sunny Singh Gill would not allow Joao Pedro onto the pitch, forcing Chelsea to play with 10 men for a brief period.

    It had little impact on the outcome but was a curious moment.

    Luton's supporters, meanwhile, have been superb and remained behind to applaud their team, who battled impressively and kept the scoreline to two goals despite the gulf in resources between the clubs.

    It is job done for Chelsea, who next face Leeds United in the Carabao Cup next month.

    The Wimbledon fans are having a great time at Craven Cottage tonight, even though they trail by two goals.

    They're all bouncing up and down, having a party in that away end.

    Luc De Fougerolles is riddled with a nasty bout of cramp.

    We've all been there and it's not nice.

    Kenny Tete makes the first contact from Harrison Reed's ball in but he's always reachig and he can't get the direction needed.
