CHELSEA fans celebrated Fikayo Tomori’s blunder – and all made the same joke.
The former Blues defender, now at AC Milan, endured a nightmare against his old team-mates at the San Siro.
He got on the wrong side of Mason Mount who burst into the penalty area.
And after clumsily hauling his fellow academy graduate down to the ground, the referee pointed to the spot and brandished the red card on 18 minutes – the first of the 24-year-old England defender’s career.
Chelsea supporters immediately jumped on to Twitter – and thanked Tomori for his services following his £30million 2021 transfer.
One said: “Agent Tomori, we love you.”

Another wrote: “Haha agent Tomori – always a Blue.”
A third quipped: “Glad to see that Tomori are still Chelsea through and through.”
And another user commented: “I see Tomori is still playing for Chelsea… nice.”
One writer joked: “Fikayo Tomori has played Chelsea 3 times in his career for Derby and AC Milan.
“He’s conceded 7, scored an own goal and been sent off. Once a blue, always a blue.”
Tomori followed in the footsteps of Tal Ben Haim by becoming the second former Chelsea player to be sent off against the West Londoners in the Champions League.

Israeli defender Ben Haim was shown a red for Maccabi Tel Aviv in November 2015.
But debate raged on social media as to whether or not Tomori should have been sent off at the San Siro.
Some believed it was just contact tussling and therefore not a penalty.
However, once the referee gave the foul, he had no choice but to give a red card because Tomori made no attempt to play the ball and denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.
To make matters worse, Tomori – who initially refused to leave the pitch – then had to watch as Jorginho slotted in from the penalty spot.
Just 13 minutes later, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored to make it 2-0 and put the Blues in total control against ten-man Milan.
