Badiashile was asked for his thoughts on the rising star:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstevao is a magic player. He will make a big difference us in the next few years and we\u2019re really happy to have him here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The winger completed 3 dribbles and had 0.58 xG in 40 minutes on the pitch. As ever he looked to take players on and make things happen. The crowd responded and it helped keep Benfica from really taking over the game.

Chelsea are so laboured at times in attack without Palmer, and Estevao\u2019s introduction gave them far more unpredictability.
