The defender marked his home debut in some style, volleying Marc Cucurella’s corner into the Shed End net with power and panache. What better way for Koulibaly to introduce himself to the Stamford Bridge crowd!

His goal received over 50 per cent of the vote, with Raheem Sterling’s maiden Chelsea effort against Leicester last Saturday running him closest in a poll of Blues supporters on the official website and the 5th Stand app.

Sam Kerr’s classy lob for Chelsea Women in their pre-season friendly against Lyon came third, closely followed by Reece James’s thunderous finish in the Tottenham draw.
