Liam Delap had to wait for his Chelsea debut on Monday night and, when he finally got on the pitch in Atlanta, the striker looked like a player with a point to prove.
Within minutes of coming on, Delap showed his physicality, clattering into LAFC defender Aaron Long. It was one of two fouls he committed during his 26-minute cameo. Moises Caicedo and Tosin Adarabioyo, who played the full game, were the only Chelsea players to manage more.
