Liam Delap says much more to come from Chelsea after win over Barcelona

ANALYSIS BY KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: An hour or so before kick-off‚ there was a fox on the loose inside Stamford Bridge‚ running in between the rows of seats in the East Stand. You did wonder whether Chelsea might need one of those in the box‚ given Enzo Maresca's starting line-up showed how he had zero strikers on the pitch. He had three on the bench in Liam Delap‚ Joao Pedro and Marc Guiu - four if we count the academy graduate Tyrique George - but none spearheading his attack.

Wayne Rooney hailed the Blues star as 'absolutely incredible' after Chelsea 's 3-0 Champions League demolition of Barcelona at Stamford Bridge. The former England captain singled out the left-back for special praise after he locked down teenage sensation Lamine Yamal and helped drive a statement victory. The Blues beat the LaLiga champions thanks to a Jules Kounde own goal and second-half strikes from Estevao and Liam Delap.
