Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley says Billy Gilmour deserved his chance against Liverpool last night.

The young Scot was impressive in the FA Cup win.

Goalscorer Barkley said: "I see him doing it in training every day, he doesn't have a day when he is struggling.

"For a young lad he is really mature with his ability on the ball, he makes the right decision most of the time. He is similar to Jorginho. He is a quality player and a good addition to the squad.

"He recently moved into the first team changing room with us and he's settled in really well and long may it continue. He is always asking questions as well which is a sign of a player that wants to improve and do well for the club. I like him and the manager and coaching staff love him as well."
