Estevao announced himself to Europe's top table in some style as Chelsea thumped Barcelona 3-0 in Champions League action on Tuesday evening, with pundits like Thierry Henry and his manager Enzo Maresca comparing him to footballing legends.

After warming the bench for much of Chelsea's preceding Premier League meeting with Burnley, the 18-year-old was handed a start against the visiting Catalan giants, and quickly established himself as one of the Blues' major threats.

After terrorising Barcelona on the right wing into the second-half, Estevao eventually found his breakthrough with a sumptuous goal that saw him bully past Barcelona defenders with the ball at his feet before releasing the ungettable strike into the high far corner of the net.
