Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC in its FIFA Club World Cup opener is unlikely to live long in the memory.

Chelsea’s day was made even more positive by the debut of Delap, a promising 22-year-old English striker signed from Ipswich Town.

A former Chelsea player has told the club to sign a World Cup winning star this summer as he wants to see experience added. Chelsea beat Los Angeles FC 2-0 in their Club World Cup opening group game on Monday night in what was a very strange and subdued atmosphere in front of just 22,000 people in a huge stadium.
