Twitter explodes as fans rush to praise Chelsea starlets Boga and Solanke
CHELSEA fans have rushed to Twitter in praise of U-19s starlets Jeremie Boga and Dominic Solanke.
Dominic Solanke was in fine form against Roma this afternoon
The duo played instrumental roles as goals from Solanke, Tammy Abraham and Charlie Colkett helped Adi Viveash's team to beat Roma 4-0 in their UEFA Youth League semi-final, setting up a showdown against Shakhtar Donetsk on Monday afternoon.
Boga has been tipped for great things at Stamford Bridge after joining the club as an U-12, whilst Solanke was recently named as England Youth Player of the Year.
And thrilled Blues supporters flooded Twitter with messages of delight at the prospect of seeing the pair feature for Jose Mourinho's senior side in the future.
One user tweeted: "Jeremie Boga has to make it. If not, then I will truly question our youth system. Such a class player."

Another exclaimed: "Boga was also amazing, dribbles past people for fun!"
One even went as far to say that Boga and Solanke should start ahead of Oscar and Drogba against QPR, adding: "I would have Solanke and Boga over Drogba and Oscar on Sunday. It's not going to happen but a man can dream right? Would be amazing."
