Delap , 22, had been replaced by Pedro earlier in the game after he failed to find the target himself.

And it was clear what he thought of his team-mate’s goal as cameras panned to him on the bench.

The former Ipswich Town striker looked unimpressed as it appeared that he may struggle for the starting spot.

Fans noticed the reaction as they took to social media.

One posted: “The guy can’t catch a break.”

A second wrote: “Brother regretting decision.”

A third commented: “Dude’s realising that he’s falling further behind Joao Pedro with every game.”

A fourth said: “He should use that as a motivation.”

Another added: “The guy knows he is only starting five league games this season.”

Delap and Pedro both joined the Blues this summer as Enzo Maresca shuffled his attacking options.

The club forked out £30million for Delap and £55million on Pedro, which has left Nicolas Jackson on the chopping block.

The Senegal international has agreed to leave the club this summer and has been linked with both Newcastle and Bayern Munich .

Meanwhile, in the match, Chelsea’s first goal came through Estevao as the wonderkid starred at Stamford Bridge .

The teenager impressed during his time on the pitch and looked thrilled when he was handed the VisitMalta Weekender trophy.

This was more than many of his team-mates as Cole Palmer refused to take the trophy from Trevoh Chalobah while Filip Jorgenson pranked the defender .
