Overview

  • Liam Delap opened his Chelsea account with a stoppage-time finish after assisting on his debut, underscoring his rapid impact since joining from Ipswich for £30 million
  • Tosin Adarabioyo broke the deadlock with a first-half header and Tyrique George added a third to secure second place in Group D behind Flamengo
  • Manager Enzo Maresca praised Delap’s quick adaptation and insisted there is no doubt the young striker will continue scoring
  • Defender Wesley Fofana remains sidelined with injury while Reece James and Levi Colwill missed the Tunis match due to rotation and illness
  • Chelsea’s run to the last 16 has generated £33.8 million in Club World Cup revenue, more than covering Delap’s transfer fee
