Chelsea FC: What do we know, what have we learned

Chelsea v Singha Thailand All-Star XI

De Bruyne breaks a leg

FBL-ASIA-ENG-PR-CHELSEA-MAS

Magic before the agony – De Bruyne

Literally.

The guy scored a cracker of a goal, only to misplace his footing and injure his knee while doing so.

Match was 29 minutes old when Kevin De Bruyne got on the end of a lob from Lukaku and scored a stunning half-volley.

The celebrations were cut short because De Bruyne, while he scored, landed in an awkward position, injuring his knee in the process. He was stretchered off and replaced by 17-year-old Islam Feruz, who was making his Chelsea debut.

Prior to the injury, De Bruyne was perfect in his role as the decoy for the defence as he ran in and out wide constantly, keeping the defenders on their toes. He produced three killer balls, which could have ended the match there and then.

The Belgian kept the defenders guessing and was able to cut past them through some eye catching footwork.

Even though he was back on the bench during the second half, expect him to remain on the sidelines for a couple of weeks.
