Chelsea 3-0 ES Tunis: Blues cruise into knockouts as Delap scores first goal
Chelsea rebounded fantastically from their first defeat at the 2025 Club World Cup with a 3-0 victory over Tunisian side ES Tunis on Tuesday, securing their place in the knockout rounds. MORE — 2025 Club World Cup schedule, results, tables, how to watch live The Blues weren't just beaten but slightly embarrassed by Brazilian side Flamengo on Friday, thus a strong response was required from Enzo Maresca's side — even after making a number of changes to the starting lineup. Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella and Reece James were all unused substitutes in Chelsea's Group D finale and will be plenty rested for the round of 16 on Saturday (vs Benfica). All three of Chelsea's goals were scored in stoppage time — two in the first half and one in the second — as Liam Delap scored his first goal (45'+5) since joining the club earlier this month and 19-year-old academy striker Tyrique George continued his rapid development with a goal of his own (90'+7), after Tosin Adarabioyo finally broke the deadlock (45'+3).

John Obi Mikel makes Nicolas Jackson prediction after Joao Pedro Chelsea heroics
John Obi Mikel believes Nicolas Jackson is now third choice striker at Chelsea – but believes he can still have a major role to play at the club. After two seasons as Chelsea's only natural option up top, Jackson now has huge competition from summer signings Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. Delap, a £30million arrival from Ipswich Town, has made a very positive impression at the Fifa Club World Cup, scoring his first goal for the club against ES Tunis. The England Under-21 international was suspended for Tuesday's semi-final clash with Fluminense with Pedro starting his first game for the Blues. Having joined from Brighton for £60million last week, the Brazil international scored two sensational goals against the side he made his professional debut for, sealing a 2-0 win for Enzo Maresca's side.

Jackson meanwhile started the game on the bench and to make matters worse, missed a huge chance after coming on in the second-half, berated by Cole Palmer for not passing to him instead. Former Chelsea midfielder Mikel has been calling for more competition up front for some time and believes his old side now have that with the options of Jackson, Delap and Pedro. While he believes the Senegal international is now likely to start the new Premier League season as Enzo Maresca's third choice striker, he believes he still has a future at the club. 'It is important we have competition in the team, it is very important when you play for a big club and you are competing for trophies and that is what we have got now,' Mikel told DAZN. 'Three good strikers competing for one position. With Delap and Joao, that competition is going to push the players to go extra hard. More Trending 'But I still think Jackson has a big part to play, he just needs to sort out himself in terms of discipline and what he wants to do here. 'But I just think with his performance here today, Joao and Delap are probably ahead of him right now.' Chelsea will now face Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final on Sunday.

Can Estevao Willian play against Chelsea at the Club World Cup?
Maresca called the situation 'a joke' and claimed that such repeated delays meant the United States probably was not the right choice of hosts for the inaugural expanded 32-team summer Club World Cup, but now his side must quickly focus for a return to Philadelphia, Chelsea's base for the competition where they previously lost to Flamengo and beat ES Tunis as they finished as runners-up in Group D following an opening win over LAFC in Atlanta.
