In one moment of clarity and quality, with no need for any assistance, Estevao Willian received the ball from Andrey Santos, touched inside once, twice and, while slipping to turf, struck hard and low and into the corner to give Chelsea lift-off in Baku.
That Enzo Maresca’s side could not seize the initiative and build on their opener to claim Champions League victory against Qarabag on Wednesday spoke chiefly of their defensively haphazard display, but Estevao did his part throughout and he had no share of the blame for the dropped points in this 2-2 draw.
