Hugo hails Dele's 'huge talent' after Blues brace

Former MK Dons starlet Dele scored with virtually identical headers either side of the half-time interval as we triumphed 2-0 in an intense London derby, billed in the lead-up to kick-off as one of the biggest games of the Premier League season.

In spite of the pressure it was a fine display, the outcome of which lifted us to third place in the table, ended the leaders’ record-equalling 13-match winning streak and reduced the gap between us and the Blues to seven points.

Respected club captain and goalkeeper Hugo proudly watched it all unfold from the other end of the pitch and, after the game, underlined how impressed he’s been with Dele’s development.
