Breakout match for Estevao!

With Cole Palmer scratched from the starting XI right before kickoff, Estevao filled in and proved that he is ready for the Premier League! The lads in another London Derby, got off to a slow start against West Ham United who gave it their all for the 1st ten minutes pressing the Blues down 0-1 from a world class goal from Lucas Paqueta. Estevao will learn that you can’t lose possession in a vital part of the pitch and not get punished for it.

Then it all turned around, by the 15th minute the boys got going off a corner kick, with Joao Pedro scoring his 1st league goal for the team and to get the Blues 1st of the season with a nice assist from Marc Cucurella. Next, the boys stepped it up winning possession in West Ham’s defensive half and Joao Pedro with a cross right to Pedro Neto’s left foot who slotted in by the keeper and then by the 35th minute Enzo Fernandez scored his 1st of the season from jaw dropping run from Estevao from 30 yards out to the end line, dropping it off right in front of net for Fernandez to tap in making it 3-1. With that turnaround the West Ham support headed for the exits even before halftime! Two more goals in the 2nd half off corner kicks and the boys never looked back with an empathic 5-1 win at the London Stadium!

Can the lads build on this start and keep the goals coming? We shall see with the 3rd London Derby of the season before the 1st international break at home against West London rivals, Fulham.

Come down to the Londoner Addison this Saturday morning & kick it with the Shed End Dallas crew. We look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,
