Chelsea midfielder Traore impresses for Burkina Faso

Chelsea midfielder Bertrand Traore is impressing for Burkina Faso in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Traore helped Burkina Faso win their first point at the Africa Cup of Nations when they drew with hosts Equatorial Guinea.

The second group game for both sides ended goalless on Wednesday afternoon although it is Burkina Faso, runners-up in the last tournament, who will consider they had the better chances in a game that ebbed and flowed.

Traore, our 19-year-old currently on-loan at Vitesse Arnhem, went close in the first half after comprehensively beating his marker but his firmly struck shot from an angle was well saved. Prior to that his older brother Alain twice hit the post.
