Dele was in great form as he bagged two second-half goals to seal a memorable 3-1 win over Chelsea, with Christian having earlier cancelled our Alvaro Morata’s opener with a long-range thunderbolt.

Asked to sum-up Dele’s match-winning display, Christian said: “He does that for us, but with him in the team you know he will get his chances.

“He's always at a good spot, at the right place and also the defensive work – he digs in, works hard and it's always easy to play in the team with a guy like this.”

It only seems like yesterday that a 19-year-old Dele leapt off the bench to make his top-flight debut at Manchester United on the opening day of the 2015-16 season.
