Chelsea fans can't get enough of Alfie Gilchrist's viral moment against Crystal Palace during his cameo appearance.
Gilchrist made his Chelsea debut on Wednesday as his side beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Michae Olise cancelled out Mykhailo Mudryk's opener as Noni Madueke converted a penalty in the 89th minute to seal a big win.
Mauricio Pochettino came under fire for his tactics despite the victory over Palace, but he made a popular decision in the second-half.
He handed a debut to Gilchrist, who graduated from the club's youth academy and has been compared to John Terry.
