PHILADELPHIA - Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said he had "no doubts" about Liam Delap, after the striker scored his first Blues goal in a 3-0 win over Tunisian champions Esperance on June 24 which took the team into the last 16 of the Club World Cup.
A game played in sweaty conditions at the end of a blisteringly hot day in Philadelphia was decided by two goals in first-half stoppage time by Tosin Adarabioyo and then Delap.
Tyrique George added the third in injury time at the end of the game in front of 32,937 fans at Lincoln Financial Field as Maresca's side bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Flamengo.
Chelsea clinched second place in Group D behind the Brazilian giants while Esperance were eliminated.
Asked about Delap's first goal on his third appearance, Maresca said: "Against Flamengo he had three clear chances to score goals so that means he is there, in the right position, he is doing well.
