The John Smith’s Stadium, Huddersfield – 26 October 2054 – Chelsea continued their stunning Premier League run with a dominant 4–0 victory over Huddersfield, led by a sensational hat-trick from 22-year-old forward Júnior. The result extends Calin Dimario’s side’s winning streak in the league to ten matches, further cementing their place at the top of the table.
Dimario’s trademark gegenpressing system once again overwhelmed the opposition, as the Blues combined relentless pressure with incisive attacking football. Despite Huddersfield’s attempt to control the tempo with a vertical tiki-taka approach, Chelsea’s intensity proved too much to handle from the outset.
The opener came early when Kegan Maston’s defensive lapse allowed Júnior to strike low and true past the keeper via the post. Minutes later, another Huddersfield error — this time from Dion Beavon — gifted Júnior a close-range volley, which the VAR confirmed after a brief offside review.
Júnior completed his hat-trick before halftime, driving home a composed finish into the bottom corner on 41 minutes to put Chelsea 3–0 up. In the second half, wonderkid Vanja Mačkić sealed the rout with a clinical strike into the far corner after a sweeping team move, completing a performance that showcased Chelsea’s ruthless efficiency.
“We’re maintaining high standards, and Júnior’s performance was world-class,” said Dimario post-match. “His movement and composure in front of goal were exceptional. The team’s energy levels never dropped — that’s what defines us.”
Júnior earned Player of the Match honours with a 9.2 rating, netting all three of his shots on target and completing 60% of his passes in advanced areas. His hat-trick takes his season tally to 14 goals across all competitions, reaffirming his emergence as one of Europe’s brightest attacking stars.
With this win, Chelsea stay firmly atop the Premier League, boasting a perfect record of ten consecutive victories and a +42 goal difference. Dimario’s champions appear unstoppable as they chase a record-breaking 33rd straight league title.
