Ben Chilwell had a fantastic response to a shout from Leicester City fans. During Chelsea's match against the Foxes, the 26-year-old received a chorus of jeers on many occasions.
The English full back left the King Power Stadium for Stamford Bridge two and a half years ago, so he is far from a fan favorite in the midlands.
Less than a year later, Chilwell guided the west Londoners to the FA Cup final at Wembley, where he faced off against his old team.
Although, the left-late back's equalizer was overturned by VAR, and Brendan Rodgers' team cruised to victory. The left-back was left blushing as the referee cut short his celebration.
When almost two years had passed, Leicester supporters quickly reminded Chilwell of his miseries by yelling: "Did you cry at Wembley?"
To the dismay of the home crowd, the Blues defender gave Graham Potter's team the lead with an outstanding volley only a few seconds later.
Just before halftime, Dakar's spectacular foot goal gave Leicester City an equalizer.
But, in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time, Havertz sprinted onto an Enzo Fernandez pass over the Leicester defense and expertly dinked the ball over Foxes goalkeeper Danny Ward.
By scoring 12 minutes from time, Mateo Kovacic gave the Blues a secure lead.
After their 3-1 victory, Chelsea is still in tenth position, but they are now just a point behind ninth-placed Brentford who lost to Leeds United earlier this Saturday evening.
