Chelsea fans have taken to Twitter to praise Blues youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi after yet another impressive cameo for the youngster in the FA Cup victory over Hull City.
Antonio Conte’s side ran out 4-0 winners over the Tigers on Friday night.
Willian opened the scoring with a superb solo effort less than two minutes in, before Pedro doubled the lead just before the half-hour mark, latching onto a fine lofted through ball from fellow Spaniard Cesc Fabregas to slot home for his sixth of the season.
Willian made it three with his second of the game five minutes, before January signing Olivier Giroud opened his Chelsea account with a well-deserved strike moments before the break.
Chelsea were unable to find the net again thanks to a resilient second-half performance from Hull and were lucky not to concede had it not been for Willy Caballero saving a David Meyler penalty.

But there were plenty of positives still to take from the latter 45 minutes – one of those being the performance of youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The teenager entered the fray at half-time, replacing the injured Pedro, and showed some exciting glimpses of what’s sure to be a bright future at Stamford Bridge.
Pacy, skilful and with an eye for goal – he has six goals in eight games in the Premier League 2 – Hudson-Odoi can take a huge amount of credit for bursting into an extremely competitive Chelsea first team.
And the Chelsea fans can’t wait to see more of the promising young Englishman …

Another promising Callum Hudson-Odoi cameo tonight.
Very dangerous when he moves between zones—with and without the ball. Covers ground effortlessly and leaves players in his wake. Always instigating, looking for quick one-twos. Always ups the tempo.
Huge potential. ⚡ pic.twitter.com/dTnjbcEWVo

Hudson-Odoi's special. You can just tell. A 17-year-old should never be showing his level of confidence. Already knows he belongs in the first team. So exciting. #CFC pic.twitter.com/tezz7Fm0OK

Doesn't matter what level it is, opponents chopping down Hudson-Odoi after he's left them trailing behind is a regular occurrence.

Hudson-Odoi's confidence is evident whenever he's on the pitch. Doesn't always try to play it safe & he's actually very direct.. special talent.
