Chelsea star Reece James has annoyed rival fans by revealing his favourite goal scored in his career so far was against their club. It comes as the 22-year-old took part in a Twitter Q and A on Wednesday, with supporters sending in plenty of questions for the defender.
James has been more and more involved in the goal scoring side of his game in the past season-and-a-half, scoring eight in that time to offer a threat in both boxes. His importance to the Blues has already been underlined by new boss Graham Potter amid his recent injury.
"I think Reece is just a fantastic player," The head coach said after victory over AC Milan. "He's developing all the time, he will get better and better as we go. I've really enjoyed working with him, he's got a lot to offer. He's fantastic, he can play in any game in the world, he's just tremendous, tremendous."

Given the number of highlights at a young age in a Chelsea shirt, James was asked his favourite goal scored so far on social media. He simply replied: "My favourite goal for us was my one against Arsenal!" including a GIF of the goal that he scored in the 2-0 victory at the Emirates last season.
While it will live fondly in the memory of Chelsea fans, those of an Arsenal persuasion didn't take too kindly to the tweet and were annoyed with the defender. "Why do we live rent free in all these players heads?" One supporter replied, ironically on the original tweet.
Other Arsenal fans went to posting goals against Chelsea in the replies, clearly frustrated by the mention of his scoring against their club.
