Estevao Willian has rewritten the Chelsea history books at the MKM Stadium, producing a landmark goal that has seen the 18-year-old eclipse a scoring record previously held by Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Chelsea put in what was arguably their best performance yet under Liam Rosenior against Hull City, with no slow-up from minute one to minute ninety.
And it looks as if Rosenior’s training ground exercises are being put into good practice, as his reaction after Pedro Neto’s corner went in was priceless.
Now, for the first time in a long time, Chelsea has a full week to prepare for its next Premier League game against Burnley.
But for the time being, it’s worth celebrating yet another record being broken by Estevao Willian.
