Dominic Solanke hits Chelsea hat-trick in FA Youth Cup win

Dominic Solanke hit a hat-trick for Chelsea in their 4-0 FA Youth Cup win over Dartford.

A hat-trick from Solanke and a strike from defender Fankaty Dabo sent the Blues through to Round 4, the draw for which will be made on Friday.

Blues coach Adi Viveash told the club's website: "The pick of the players tonight were the two centre-backs, Conroy and Muleba, along with Solanke. We needed the centre-backs to be calm as Dartford had a bit of pace and aggression but their concentration was very good.

"It's quite difficult when the onus is on you, you're expected to win and you have to produce but that's what we have to get used to and we delivered in the end tonight."
