Chelsea fans have been lauding left-back Marcos Alonso after the club tweeted a video of his first-ever goal for the club, which happened three years ago today.
Alonso struck home a cross from Pedro for the second goal in a minute for the Blues against Everton in a 5-0 win back in November 2016 (via Chelsea).
The three-cap Spain international has enjoyed a successful three years at the club, making 132 appearances and winning three major trophies.
His time at Stamford Bridge is a far cry from the early years of his career, where he played for lower-half Premier League sides, Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland.
Alonso’s time in West London has seen him earn a call-up for the Spain national team, making his debut in March 2018 under former manager Julen Lopetegui.
Fans were lavishing Alonso with praise after the impact he’s made during his three years at the club as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Stamford Bridge faithful:
You can’t hate this man, what he’s done to our club while staying loyal is incredible. That 3:4:3 formation with Alonso as LWB
