Chelsea vs Barcelona battle drawn as, Chelsea win at 90 minute over 10 men Barcelona

It was billed as the battle of the two teenage wonderkids - and for once it was Lamine Yamal who found himself overshadowed, cast outside from the spotlight 

This was Estevao Willian's night.

With Chelsea already 1-0 up and Barcelona down to 10 men, the 18-year-old produced a truly memorable moment to light up an already raucous Stamford Bridge.

Collecting a pass from Reece James, Estevao cut inside, turned Alejandro Balde inside out and then sent a rasping drive into the roof of the net past goalkeeper Joan Garcia.

As former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin put it: "Start believing the hype."

"The goal's the bit everyone will see, and it was wonderful in a number of ways," Nevin said on BBC Radio 5 Live after the 3-0 victory. "It was just so tight, the footwork, and it's a brilliant, brilliant finish."

But all the other parts of his game, the intelligence, was nice to watch.
