Chelsea fans demand Wesley Fofana is given John Terry’s shirt number after incredible block against Liverpool
CHELSEA fans are in awe of Wesley Fofana – with one fan saying he should be handed John Terry’s No 26 shirt after his first-half performance against Liverpool.
The Blues are up against Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Premier League and things are still all square.
But Chelsea had numerous chances to go ahead in the first 10 minutes of the game before things slowed down.
Liverpool, however, grew into the game and began to get forward themselves.
As the end of the half approached, the Reds piled pressure on and a late corner came into the box.
The ball ultimately fell to Fabinho, who controlled the ball before volleying an effort that looked destined for the corner.
But £75million signing Fofana got his head in the way to ensure Chelsea went in at the break with the score at 0-0.
And Blues fans were absolutely loving it on social media.
One fan said: “WOOOOOW! What a goal line block by Wesley Fofana! That’s one of the best headed blocks I have EVER seen.”
Another added: “What a block by Wesley Fofana though.”
While a third wrote: “That vital block Wesley Fofana made in the box in stoppage time. Unbelievable.”
Another Blues supporter said: “Fofana nice block, I like this guy, good signing just need him to stay fit.”
And another went as far to say that Fofana should be handed the famed 26 shirt worn by Terry throughout his career.
“Should have given Fofana JT’s #26 shirt instead of the Senegalese Sylvain Distin.”
A win for Chelsea would put them back into the top half of the Premier League, while Liverpool are looking to inch themselves closer to the top four.
Chelsea sacked Graham Potter last week and are currently in the process of finding a new manager, with Julian Nagelsmann among the early favourites.
