Chelsea won a thriller at the City Ground 3-2 yesterday against Nottingham Forest yesterday, yet the highlight of the game for many fans wasn’t the goals, it was a substitute.
Reece James made his return to the field after 5 months out, and it took him just seconds to get back to what he does best – ruling the right hand side of the pitch.
He was only out there for a few minutes, but he got through so much action. Just look at his superb highlights from the game. There’s his great cross to assist the winner, some powerful defending, winning a free kick with quick feet, and driving inside to help the midfield.
There was even a chance to show off his trademark chest control.
If he can do this in ten minutes, imagine what he can do with 90…
