The most famous name in this Conference League is by far Chelsea. The Londoners won all their five previous matches and were presented with a new bite-sized chunk with the Irish Shamrock Rovers. 18-year-old Marc Guiu led ‘The Blues’ and scored a hat-trick in what would ultimately be a 5-1 win for Chelsea. With 18 out of 18, it logically ends the competition phase in first place.
