Chelsea legend Petr Cech praises captain Cesar Azpilicueta for 'never disappointing' as he insists the defender deserves the 'huge reward of lifting trophy clean sweep' after Neil Warnock claimed the Spaniard was 'not top class' in a scathing attack

Petr Cech has praised Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta following the Blues' Club World Cup win as the former goalkeeper claims the defender 'never disappoints'.

Kai Havertz scored a penalty in extra time to see Chelsea beat Palmeiras to Club World Cup glory.

The win means the west Londoners have now won every trophy possible during Roman Abramovich's reign and Azpilicueta has lifted every one available to him since arriving at Stamford Bridge.

Despite the defender's clean sweep, Neil Warnock launched a scathing attack, slating Azpilicueta's abilities, but Cech came out in support of his former team-mate.
