Returning Estevao brings X-factor to strikerless Chelsea

Estevao Willian and Morgan Rogers starred as Chelsea defeated 10-man Manchester United 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. Rogers opened the scoring in the 50th minute with a fine solo effort before Cole Palmer added a penalty to seal the win. Estevao, making his first Premier League start of the season, impressed over 86 minutes and had two goals disallowed.

Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso praised Estevao's preparation and response after the Brazilian winger had previously seen limited playing time. Rogers reached 10 goal involvements across 13 appearances this season, helping Chelsea overcome an injury crisis that included the absence of striker Joao Pedro against Michael Carrick's Manchester United side.
