Star in rout, Estêvão breaks Chelsea record in the Premier League | OneFootball

This Friday, Estêvão became the youngest player to provide an assist for Chelsea in the English Championship. At 18 years and 120 days old, the former Palmeiras player broke the record during the 5-1 victory against West Ham, valid for the second round of the national competition.

Starting for the first time at the English club, the Brazilian contributed with an assist for the third goal of the match, scored by Enzo Fernández. After an individual play on the right, he invaded the area and rolled the ball for the Argentine midfielder to finish calmly.

Due to his good performance, Estêvão was awarded by the Premier League as the best player of the match.

This was only Estêvão's second official game for Chelsea. His debut took place last Sunday, in the goalless draw against Crystal Palace. On that occasion, the young forward replaced Gittens eight minutes into the second half.

Chelsea returns to the field next Saturday, when they face Fulham, for the third round of the English Championship. The match is scheduled to take place at 8:30 AM (Brasília time), at Stamford Bridge, in London.
