Chelsea vs. Arsenal felt like a late 2000s/early 2010s Premier League clash. It was aggressive, perhaps low on quality, but still grittily enjoyable.

Does a game have to be ‘good’ to be entertaining?

Sometimes when it comes to deciding what to write about, you simply cannot avoid the obvious. #CFC’s win over Ajax was inevitable once they went down to 10 men…Estevao still made it a night to remember. He’s a born entertainer. My column here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/674...

Chelsea have had their fair share of entertainers since making their debut in the Champions League: Zola, Robben and Hazard to name a few.

It is far too early to put Estevao in their category — but it may not take long if he continues progressing at such a fast rate 🇧🇷

Piece on the (young) man of the moment, Estevao Willian. He’s the talk of #CFC right now but how is his rise being seen back in his homeland of Brazil? Story here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/672...
What Brazil thinks of Estevao: ‘He looks really at ease – that doesn’t surprise me at all’
Some doubted he could perform against the biggest teams but the teenager's start at Chelsea is capturing the imagination in his homeland
