CHELSEA fans are in awe of Wesley Fofana – with one fan saying he should be handed John Terry’s No 26 shirt.
The Blues shut out Jurgen Klopp’s side as their first game since sacking Graham Potter ended goalless.
But Chelsea had numerous chances to go ahead in the first 10 minutes of the game before things slowed down.
Liverpool, however, grew into the game and began to get forward themselves.
As the end of the half approached, the Reds piled pressure on and a late corner came into the box.
The ball ultimately fell to Fabinho, who controlled the ball before volleying an effort that looked destined for the corner.
But £75million signing Fofana got his head in the way to ensure Chelsea went in at the break with the score at 0-0.
And Blues fans were absolutely loving it on social media.
One fan said: “WOOOOOW! What a goal line block by Wesley Fofana! That’s one of the best headed blocks I have EVER seen.”
Another added: “What a block by Wesley Fofana though.”

While a third wrote: “That vital block Wesley Fofana made in the box in stoppage time. Unbelievable.”
Another Blues supporter said: “Fofana nice block, I like this guy, good signing just need him to stay fit.”
And another went as far to say that Fofana should be handed the famed 26 shirt worn by Terry throughout his career – which is currently held by Kalidou Koulibaly.
He wrote: “Should have given Fofana JT’s #26 shirt instead of the Senegalese Sylvain Distin.”
