Maurizio Sarri believes Callum Hudson-Odoi can become one of the "best players in Europe" after the Chelsea teenager impressed on his first Premier League start.

Eden Hazard and Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored the other goals, but Hudson-Odoi was arguably the standout performer for long periods in London midweek.
