Chelsea attacker ends 7️⃣ month goal drought with friendly goal

Chelsea attacker ends 7️⃣ month goal drought with friendly goal One year ago, there was plenty of intrigue when Liam Delap joined Chelsea from Ipswich for £30 million. The English attacker impressed in 2025/26 pre-season and scored a brace during Chelsea's 4-1 home triumph against AC Milan. However, Delap struggled throughout last season, registering just two goals in all competitions. The 23-year-old's last goal came all the way back in early January as the Blues edged rivals Fulham to a 2-1 Premier League win. Delap eventually ended his barren spell on Sunday with a well-taken penalty against Malaysian opponents Johor Darul Ta'zim. Xabi Alonso's side trailed 1-0 after 14 minutes before Delap levelled from the spot.  Will the long-overdue goal give Delap some goalscoring confidence ahead of 2026/27?
