COMETH THE HOUR cometh the boy.
Teenager Callum Hudson-Odoi marked his first competitive start with a 60th minute goal to cap a starring role and restore some pride to wounded Chelsea.
Hudson-Odoi, 18, also hit the crossbar and seized his big chance on the night he was asked to fill the boots of Eden Hazard.
The rookie was one of ten changes to the team which collapsed spectacularly in a 3-1 defeat to fierce rivals Tottenham on Saturday.
Veteran striker Olivier Giroud had already scored the two first half goals to make sure of victory and top spot in Group L with a game to spare.
Chelsea were helped enormously by the fact PAOK were reduced to ten men after only seven minutes when Yevhen Khacheridi tripped Giroud on a run into the box.
But Hudson-Odoi’s display of youthful enthusiasm, energy and his first goal for them suggests the young and old at Stamford Bridge can combine to produce the goods.
He rounded off his star performance with an assist when sub Alvaro Morata headed in the fourth goal.
All of which is reassuring to Chelsea fans as their club faces a FIFA probe into its transfer dealings and a possible ban of two windows.
Londoner Hudson-Odoi has been one of the most frustrated players at the club this season.
Boss Maurizio Sarri put the block on the youngster going out on loan and so he has been effectively mothballed – training with the first team but getting little action.
This season he has not made even the matchday squad of 18 in the Premier League and has played just 35 minutes coming off the bench in Europe.
Given that he won the Under-17 World Cup with England last season and is one of the most highly-rated prospects in the country makes it even harder to take for a lad who grew up on Chelsea’s doorstep in South West London.
He has had to watch international team-mates Jadon Sancho, Ryan Sessegnon and Phil Foden go onto bigger and better things while battling against the odds to get noticed by new head coach Sarri.
It will be difficult to forget him now after Hudson-Odoi curled in a classy strike, Chelsea’s third, with a solo run into the box and ran his heart out in a full 90 minutes runout.
Best goal of the night was Giroud’s superb left foot volley from a lob over the defence by Cesc Fabregas which put the game beyond doubt.
That took the Frenchman’s recent run to four goals in his last three games just 24 hours after he had admitted his frustrations at lack of starts in the Premier League.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
