Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta was seen blowing kisses towards Leeds United's away support during their Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues secured a dramatic 3-2 victory against Marcelo Bielsa's side on Saturday afternoon after Jorginho netted a 90+4 minute winner.
It was a promising start for Leeds. In the 28th minute, Raphinha opened the scoring from the penalty spot but that finish was cancelled out by Mason Mount, who shushed those behind the goal.

In the second half, Thomas Tuchel's side made it 2-1 with 58 minutes on the clock when Jorginho converted his first spot-kick.
And with 20 minutes remaining, defender Andreas Christensen was brought on for Chelsea captain Azpilicueta, who went on to troll the travelling supporters as he made his way around the pitch.
You can see the footage below.

Leeds youngster Joe Gelhardt netted his first goal for the Whites to make it 2-2 but that man Jorginho bagged in injury time to grab all three points.
It's fair to say Saturday's clash at Stamford Bridge was a feisty affair.

In terms of Azpilicueta's future at Stamford Bridge, the 32-year-old defender will undoubtedly go down as a club legend but he could leave Chelsea on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Having joined the Blues in 2012, the Spanish international has lifted two Champions League trophies as well as two Premier League titles and an FA Cup, amongst other silverware.
But the Chelsea captain has struggled for regular game time in recent years. His contract comes to an end in June 2022 and according to reports, he will opt for a free transfer rather than a contract extension.

Spanish outlet MARCA claim Barcelona could be a good fit - a club that have reportedly been following his contract situation for a long time.
