Veiga got things up and running early on with a towering header from Mkyhailo Mudryk’s cross. Despite chances, we had to wait until a minute into the second half to double our lead, Pedro Neto smashing home in front of the Matthew Harding Stand.
Gent threatened at points and our Belgian visitors halved the deficit shortly afterwards through Tsuyoshi Watanabe’s header, but any chance of a comeback was quickly quashed by Christopher Nkunku, who lashed in his seventh of the season.
Dewsbury-Hall then got the goal his industrious performance in midfield deserved to make it 4-1 Chelsea with 20 minutes remaining. There was time for Gent to get one back before the end, but this was very much our night.
