Scores first Chelsea goal
Welbeck scored his first Chelsea goal, heading in Malo Gusto's cross to break the deadlock in a 2-0 League Cup win over Luton Town that sent the Blues into the third round, the club posted.
Analysis: Welbeck made his Chelsea competitive debut in this match after joining the club over the summer, having scored 13 goals with one assist across 37 Premier League appearances for Brighton last season. His first goal for the club comes in his first appearance, an encouraging sign as Chelsea continues shaping its squad under new coach Xabi Alonso heading into the first stretch of the season.
Starting vs. Luton Town
Welbeck is in the starting lineup for Thursday's EFL Cup match against Luton Town.
Analysis: Manager Xabi Alonso had revealed that Welbeck was in contention to play in this midweek cup clash, and he'll be in charge of leading the line with Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer behind him. This will be Welbeck's debut with the Blues -- he notched 13 goals and one assist in 37 EPL matches played (26 starts) for Brighton in the 2025/26 EPL campaign.
