And, following the match, Lys Mousset donated his shirt to a fan he had accidentally struck after coming on as a substitute.

One fan tweeted: “Mo Besic accidentally struck a Chelsea fan in the crowd with a loose ball during the warm up, He instantly runs over and goes up the steps in the stand to apologise and check if he’s okay and gets a round of applause from both sets of fans! The class!”

Another replied: “It was during the match, moooose had a shot it was deflected for a corner and hit a guy in the throat/chin area stood just to the right of the post. The guy looked in some distress but was ok a few mins after, then Moooose came up after the match and threw his shirt to him.”
