Some Chelsea FC supporters have expressed their delight over the showing from Reece James during the club’s 4-2 Premier League win over Burnley at Turf Moor.
The young right-back has yet to make a Premier League start for the club but he has already impressed with a couple of cameo appearances off the bench.
One of those came during the Clarets clash on Saturday and he made the most of the chance with a 100 pass percentage while making key crucial blocks.
Here are some of the best tweets over the teenager’s performance….
REECE JAMES WITH TWO BIG BLOCKS
BEAST

There have been plenty of calls for James to start on the right side of the defence ahead of Cesar Azpilicueta but Lampard has stuck with the club-captain for the league duties.
Against Burnley, James was brought on for Marcos Alonso but it was Azpilicueta, who shifted into the left-back position to compensate for James to play in his preferred role.
The Blues did concede a couple of goals following the positional changes but Frank Lampard has given a glimpse into the future where both Azpilicueta and James could make the starting XI together.
