From the source
Estevao Willian made a rare start for Chelsea in their 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Saturday afternoon. It was his first start in the Premier League this season, and the winger did not disappoint.
Both goals Estevao scored against United were later ruled out for offside, but he still had a good game despite not getting his name on the scoresheet.
Despite barely playing for Chelsea this season, Estevao has still been called up to the Brazil squad for the next round of international fixtures. Carlo Ancelotti is a fan of the 19-year-old, and it appears that he is now starting to win over Xabi Alonso.
