Rosenior hails Estevao as a “special talent” after dazzling display in Chelsea’s 3-1 win at Palace | OneFootball

Liam Rosenior called Estevao Willian a 'special talent' after the winger's man-of-the-match performance in Chelsea's win at Crystal Palace.

Estevao scored one and created another asChelsea boosted their Champions League hopes with a 3-1 win at Selhurst Park.

The teenager burst forward from inside his own half to scoreChelsea's opener on the counter, before lifting a delightful pass into Joao Pedro for the second.

The 18-year-old has now been directly involved in eight goals across all competitions this season, in just 14 starts forChelsea.

Rosenior has been hugely impressed by Estevao, who was handed a start in Cole Palmer's absence. Discussing his potential, theChelsea head coach called the winger a 'special talent'.

“I think it says what we already know,” Rosenior said at hispost-match press conference on Estevao’s performance.

“He’s a player with special ability, special talent.

“Every time he’s been on the pitch with me I think he’s been outstanding.

“If you watch that goal, what makes me so happy is that all 11 men are back behind the ball. That’s why he gets the space.

“I don't want to talk too much about individuals. I thought it was a top team performance away from home.”
