Then came Delap, the £30m signing from Ipswich, who hopped off the bench in the 64th minute and owned the moment. Fifteen minutes later, he bombed down the right and slung a perfect cross for Enzo Fernandez to tap in the second goal. “Liam’s got our vibe,” grinned boss Enzo Maresca. “He’s picking it up fast.” Delap, 22, who ditched England’s U21 Euros for this tournament, is already gunning for Jackson’s spot: “You gotta fight for it at Chelsea.”
Only 22,137 fans showed up in a 71,000-seat stadium, which got some folks talking, but Chelsea stayed dialed in. They’re off to Philly next to face Flamengo on June 20, and Delap’s got fans buzzing about a deep run.
