Chelsea recorded the biggest Europa Conference League victory as they crushed Armenian side FC Noah.
The Blues, playing a completely different team to their last Premier League game, led 6-0 at the break - and added two more in the second half.
They took the lead when Tosin Adarabioyo headed in Enzo Fernandez's corner.
Noah lost the ball almost immediately following their kick-off and Marc Guiu won the ball and scored.
Axel Disasi headed in another Fernandez corner, then Fernandez fed Joao Felix who ran through and clipped the ball over the goalkeeper.
Mykhailo Mudryk scored the goal of the game when he curled a fine shot into the top corner, before Felix netted his second via a deflection.
Christopher Nkunku, who also hit the bar, hooked in a seventh from an angle after his initial shot was saved.
And the Frenchman then scored a penalty which he slammed down the middle.
Chelsea's squad is so large and talented that they are fielding practically different teams in the league and cups.
Even their second-string team are far too good for the Conference League with 16 goals scored in their first three wins, twice as many as anyone else.
Chelsea were huge favourites to win this game, ranked eighth in Uefa's European club rankings, compared with Noah at 311th.
And they recorded the joint-second biggest victory in their history, only behind a 13-0 Cup Winners’ Cup victory over Jeunesse Hautcharage in 1971.
