David Luiz was full of praise for his team-mate Willian today.
Yesterday saw Chelsea go top of the Premier League, at least for 24 hours anyway, with a comfortable 3-0 win against Stoke City at Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinho sprung something of a surprise by leaving Eden Hazard on the bench for the game – resting the Belgian ahead of the Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain this week.
But he needn’t worry – as two players who came in had a great game.
Willian and Mohamed Salah are both new to the club but have seemingly settled in very quickly to Blue life.
Salah scored yesterday – but the man of the match was the Brazilian star.
He cost a whopping £32 million from Anzhi Makhachkala last summer and has become a fan favourite for his hard work as well as his samba skills.
But a little bit of magic was needed for his goal.
He tucked away a wonderful effort from outside the box beyond the despairing hands of Asmir Begovic – and his countryman and team-mate David Luiz was more than impressed.
Never afraid to show affection for a team-mate the defender-come-midfielder took to Twitter to send his congratulations to his team-mate – along with a picture of him with another Brazilian Oscar.
