Chelsea fans were clearly delighted with the performance of Fikayo Tomori as the Europa League holders were beaten 5-4 on penalties by Liverpool in Wednesday evening's UEFA Super Cup in Istanbul.

The central defender played his second competitive game for Chelsea's first team after replacing Andreas Christensen in the 85th minute and gave a good account of himself.

One supporter believes that Tomori is better than Zouma while others praised him for his composure, pace and agility.
