“Best right back in world” – Dramatic social media reaction to Reece James masterclass

Reece James has arrived, ladies and gentlemen.

Nobody thought it was possible he could actually live up to the hype. The excitement that built up over a year in the Championship only grew when he was out injured and the incumbent in his position struggling.

Nobody thought it was possible he could live up to his expectations, let alone exceed them. But for tonight at least, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Social media went wild after his full debut for Chelsea, marked with two assists and a goal.

This guy at the top says he’s the “best right back in the world” – that’s going quite far, but a season of performances like this and we won’t argue.
