Liam Delap scores his first goal for Chelsea as they beat ES Tunis 3-0 to reach the last-16 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Delap joined the Blues right ahead of the CWC, costing them £30m from Ipswich Town. Delap got the help from Tosin Adarabioyo, who scored the opening goal late in the first half, and then Tyrique George contributed a goal late in the second half.
In group D, Flamengo had a 1-1 draw with Los Angeles FC. As a result, they top the group with seven points, one ahead of second-placed Chelsea with six.
In Group C, every team has one match to play. This is why it is not clear who Chelsea and Flamengo will face in the round of 16.
Delap scoring a goal in a crucial game is a must for the Blues, as they faced a major problem in the number nine position.
Arsenal, Manchester United and others were chasing Delap. But he decided to make a move to Chelsea.
Getting a striker for 30 million pounds is a bargain as Arsenal and Man United would spend over 60 million pounds, possibly, to add a number nine.
Delap becoming a consistent striker for Chelsea in the 2025-26 season might make them that much better.
