John Terry gives glowing review of Lewis Hall as Chelsea youngster shines against Man City

Chelsea youngster Lewis Hall was a shining light for the west London side in the first half as the left wing-back impressed against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup. The 18-year-old made his second senior appearance for the Blues against the English champions, having made his debut against Chesterfield in the FA Cup last season.

It was a huge decision from Graham Potter to start the academy graduate in such a huge occasion, but it was one he explained before the game to Sky Sports. "My experience of these games is that there is always someone who emerges," the manager claimed when asked about his team selection.

"Obviously we hope it’s Lewis but it could be someone else. That’s the beauty of the game. We want to try and win but it’s important that guys who train with the team get a chance to play as well."
