Ross Barkley is getting a lot of credit for his driving run and pass that set the goal up.
Various fans are tweeting about the young England international, who is getting a rare start tonight after a lack of impact at Stamford Bridge since his January transfer from Everton…
Ross Barkley at his best there! ?
