'Yet another trophy' - Chelsea fans are joyous as Willian and Brazil celebrate Copa America win

Chelsea star Willian is celebrating after Brazil claimed their first major title in 12 years with victory against Peru in the final of the Copa America.

Brazil won the title with a 3-1 win against Peru at the Maracana, with Everton Soares, Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison on target for the hosts.

It was a first major tournament triumph since 2007 for South America's most successful national team, but a second trophy to celebrate in the space of a couple of months for Willian, after he helped Chelsea to success in the Europa League final against Arsenal at the end of May.

The 30-year-old was an unused substitute for the final, after picking up a thigh injury in the second half of Brazil's win against Argentina in the semi-final.

But he has played his part through the course of the Copa America, with Willian featuring four times for Brazil, and scoring in their 5-0 win against Peru earlier on in the tournament.

It had been reported that Willian would miss the final as a result of the muscle injury he picked up in the win against Argentina, but he was named among the substitutes.

And following the victory, he is now celebrating with his team-mates after winning the tournament at the famous Maracana Stadium.

But he is not the only one celebrating Brazil's triumph, with Chelsea fans quick to congratulate their player - and his team-mates on their success.

Here's how Chelsea fans have been reacting to the Copa America final on social networking website Twitter.
