Chelsea fans will have been left impressed by what teenage sensation Estevao Willian did during his latest performance for Brazil this week.

Carlo Ancelotti handed the 18-year-old another international call-up, and he rewarded his manager by helping Brazil pick up a dominant 3-0 win against Chile in their latest World Cup qualifier.

Estevao has made an electric start to his life in the Premier League, with Joe Cole praising Chelsea’s new signing by claiming he’s better than the club first realised.

That form has now continued to the international stage as the winger continues his rapid rise in the game.

Chelsea’s Estevao Willian scores a stunning bicycle kick for Brazil

Estevao was handed a start for Brazil, and he made the most of the opportunity by scoring his first goal for the team in sensational style.

The Chelsea winger found the back of the net with an acrobatic bicycle kick, catching the ball as it looped in the air inside the box, etching his name into the history books in style.

However, Chelsea fans will be impressed by more than just the goal; his overall performance was equally eye-catching, which led to him winning the Player of the Match award.

Estevao Willian is breaking into Chelsea’s team early

Chelsea signed Estevao last year for £29million, but he only joined up with the club at the end of the Club World Cup this summer.

Despite being one of the youngest members of Enzo Maresca’s team, the winger has wasted no time forcing his way into the starting line-up, proving that he’s ready for the opportunity already.

Estevao came off the bench in the first Premier League game of the season, but has gone on to start Chelsea’s following two matches.

The teenager picked up an assist against West Ham United, and Maresca claimed Estevao will be a “fantastic player” for Chelsea.

While Chelsea’s signings of Joao Pedro, Alejandro Garnacho, and Liam Delap have received considerable attention, the young Brazilian might end up breaking out as the most important.
