Chelsea fans jeer X-rated chant at Lamine Yamal as Estevao joins elite club and wins battle of wonderkids with stunning goal

Lamine Yamal endured a night to forget as Barcelona were brushed aside by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Spaniard was outshone by fellow teenager Estevao as the Blues cruised to a 3-0 Champions League victory.

His stunning strike helped secure all three points for Enzo Maresca’s side, who also had three early efforts ruled out.

Chelsea had taken the lead through a Jules Kounde own goal before Ronald Araujo was sent off for a second yellow before half time.

Estevao then doubled the home side’s lead after the restart with a sublime solo goal.

The Brazilian drove into the Barca penalty area before firing a right-footed strike into the roof of the net.

Liam Delap then added a third for Chelsea as they ended a three-match winless streak against the Spanish giants.

Estevao proved to be the star of the show in west London thanks to his heroics.

His strike makes him just the third teenager to score in each of his first three starts in the Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland have both previously achieved the feat, although the latter was older than Chelsea’s latest phenom.

Estevao’s latest effort follows goals against Ajax and Qarabag in their last two outings.

The 18-year-old received a standing ovation as he was replaced by Tyrique George with seven minutes remaining.

However, there was no such reception for Yamal from the home crowd on Tuesday night.

Instead, the Chelsea fans targeted the Barca winger with an X-rated chant.

The words ‘you’re just a s*** Estevao’ could be heard ringing around the stadium.

Yamal struggled throughout the evening on what was his first career appearance against a Premier League side.

He was ultimately taken off by Hansi Flick in the 80th minute, with Dani Olmo replacing him.

As for Estevao, the new arrival continues to impress since completing his move from Palmeiras.

Having been made to wait until the summer to join Chelsea, he has now scored five goals in 17 appearances across all competitions.

Reflecting on his goal, the forward told Amazon Prime: “I don’t really have any words to sum up how I am feeling.

“It was all very quick for me. I found some space and wiggled my way through.”

As for whether it was the best moment of his young career, he added: “Yes, yes. I hope I keep scoring for the many more years. My family were here to watch.”

Estevao’s goal inspired Chelsea to a win which has seen them climb up the league phase standings.

The Blues now sit fifth ahead of Wednesday’s action, with the top eight sides after the final matchday advancing directly to the last 16.

Maresca will be hoping his latest talent can continue his scoring streak against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Chelsea continue their European campaign with a trip to face Atalanta on December 9.
