Callum Hudson-Odoi scored twice as holders Chelsea beat Scunthorpe 4-0 in the FA Youth Cup.

George McEachran and Tino Anjorin also scored in a comfortable win for the home side, who will face West Bromwich Albion in the fourth round.

Hudson-Odoi’s deflected shot put the young Blues ahead and the striker doubled their lead midway through the second half after being set up by McEachran, who made it 3-0 with a firm strike from outside the penalty area.

Anjorin, on as a substitute, pounced on a defensive mix-up to complete the scoring.

The Chelsea side included Ethan Ampadu, who made his Premier League debut against Huddersfield this week.
