Liam Delap responds on Instagram after solid Chelsea debut and superb assist | OneFootball

New Chelsea striker Liam Delap has responded on Instagram after making his Chelsea debut and having a solid first appearance in blue.

Chelsea beat Los Angeles FC 2-0 in their Club World Cup opening group game last night in what was a very strange and subdued atmosphere in front of just 22,000 people in a huge stadium.

EXCLUSIVE! Bayern Munich have made contact with Chelsea regarding signing one of their defenders!

It was far from vintage Chelsea but in the end they just got the job done and three points on the board to set them up for a good starts.

The goals came from a lovely Nicolas Jackson assist to Pedro Neto to finish in the first half. And then new signing Liam Delap also provided a superb assist for Enzo Fernandez to run into the box and tap in to score.

Chelsea can do better

Despite the win, defender Levi Colwill has admitted that his team were not perfect and they can do better after conceding too many chances last night.

But as he also explains, tournament football and in fact any game at all, is just always about winning. If you win the game, that is always essentially all that matters and Chelsea did the job last night.

Delap was superb

Delap only came on midway through the second half but he was superb and fit in right away. As well as his assist, he was putting himself about, making some very good runs, and linking up very well with Cole Palmer.

As you can see in his Instagram post above, he was very pleased to have made his Chelsea debut and you just get a feeling that this could be the start of something good with Delap and Chelsea.
