Chelsea legends hail 'superstar' Estevao after outshining Lamine Yamal | OneFootball

Brazilian teenager wowed Stamford Bridge as Barcelona were brushed away

Chelsea have a "superstar" on their hands in Estevao, who came of age in a "mature" display against Barcelona.

Estevao scored an outstanding individual goal as Chelsea brushed the 10-man Spanish giants aside with a 3-0 win.

Chelsea stormed out of the blocks and led through defender Jules Kounde's own goal. Barca captain Ronald Araujo was given his marching orders before half-time, for two yellow cards.

Shortly after the break, Estevao doubled Chelsea's advantage. The 18-year-old slipped inside Pau Cubarsi then glided across Alejandro Balde before rifling a rising, unstoppable finish high into the net.

"It was very good, very mature as well," Zola said on Amazon Prime Sport. "He played like somebody much older than his age. What I like about him is when there is a possibility to try to do something difficult, he does it.

"There is a great quality and he can only improve. Today he scored a fantastic goal and every time I see him, I see something new in him. This is a great attitude for a player like him."

Sturridge added: "The anticipation and expectation was that it was going to be Yamal's night and it would be all about him. You see Estavao tonight and it was absolutely brilliant.

"He was tenacious, he was decisive in the moments he needed to be. Calmed the game down when he needed to calm it down. Very professional and experienced performance from him and it is just the beginning.

"Just the start of an amazing career we hope to see and we hope Chelsea have a superstar on their hands because he was absolutely amazing tonight."
