Liam Delap made an instant impact for Chelsea as they defeated Los Angeles FC 2-0 in their sparsely-attended Club World Cup opener.
The new £30million signing from Ipswich - who is in the United States with Chelsea this summer instead of at the Under-21 European Championship with England - came off the bench to impress in Monday night’s Group D curtain-raiser played in front of more than 50,000 empty seats in Atlanta, showcasing his quality and providing a debut assist for Enzo Fernandez’s important goal that sealed victory late on.
