Supporters of Premier League giants Chelsea have taken to social media in their numbers on Sunday, to single a headline member of the club’s attacking ranks out for special praise.
For those not aware, Mauricio Pochettino’s troops are currently locked in action.
Amid ongoing efforts to ramp up preparations for the new season, Chelsea have locked horns with capital rivals Fulham, in a friendly clash in Maryland.
And, late in proceedings at FedExField, the Blues are firmly in control of proceedings.
Owing to goals on the part of Thiago Silva and Christopher Nkunku, Poch and co. boast a deserved 2-0 advantage, ahead of a final pre-season outing against Borussia Dortmund this week.
