“Koulibaly characteristics” – Some Chelsea fans hail another amazing Zouma slide tackle

Chelsea are at all hands to the pumps against Bournemouth, with every outfield player pushing up as high as they can to try and break down our deep-lying opposition.

That’s leaving us very exposed at the back however, with both Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger getting exposed by Josh King’s pace on the break

The former was forced to make a superb covering tackle just now to stop the Norway international scoring. In typical Zouma style, he made no mistake, cleanly clearing the ball away. One fan pointed out the “Koulibaly characteristics” of the France defender, comparing him to the in-demand Napoli man who we have been linked with.

What we really need is a goal, not tackles, but this was vital to keep us in the game.

It got a mad reaction on social media, as you’d expect:
