Returning Estevao brings X-factor to strikerless Chelsea

Estevao Willian had not started a Premier League match this season before his electric display against Manchester United on Saturday.

The 19-year-old winger was an unused substitute for the midweek penalty shootout defeat by Liverpool but was still serenaded with chants from away fans at Anfield.

Three days later, after questions had been raised about the Brazil international's lack of opportunities, Chelsea supporters made their feelings clear.

Early on against United at Stamford Bridge, supporters chanted "Steve-o", their tongue-in-cheek nickname for the £38m signing from Palmeiras.

This time he was on the field, making things happen in a team that lacked a recognised striker, and the loud backing from the stands appeared justified.
