Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has expressed his delight following the impressive return of Estevao Willian in the club’s emphatic 7-0 victory over Port Vale in the FA Cup quarterfinal.

Speaking after the match, Rosenior was full of praise for the youngster’s fearless mentality and natural flair.
He said, “There is no ceiling for Estevao. We missed him. He comes in and he just plays. He’s always a threat and he always wants the ball.”
With the commanding win, Chelsea booked their place in the next round of the FA Cup, keeping their hopes of silverware alive this season.
Rosenior made the club’s ambitions clear, “We want to reach the final. That’s the goal. We want to win a trophy.”
