Chelsea boss Graham Potter was delighted with Omari Hutchinson's showing in their Dubai defeat to Aston Villa.
The Blues were beaten by a strike by John McGinn but Potter was nonetheless impressed with how a young team competed against a strong Villa side.
And Potter had words of praise for young attacker Hutchinson, who shone against Villa and almost scored a sublime goal when he fired against the woodwork in the first half.
"He was really good, dangerous and asked a question all the time," he said.
"Throughout the game he showed his quality but he wasn't the only one. It was a spirited performance with a lot of young players so it was good."
