Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell has received some light-hearted criticism on Instagram tonight from close friend James Maddison.
Chelsea recorded a crucial first win of their Premier League season on Friday night, securing a 3-0 home success over Luton Town at Stamford Bridge.
Raheem Sterling (two) and Nicolas Jackson were on the scoresheet to secure the Blues a convincing victory.
Ben Chilwell, who captained the hosts due to the Reece James absence, continued in a wing-back role that allows him to get very high up the pitch for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Remarkably, the 26-year-old did waste a golden chance during the second half to get on the scoresheet himself.
The English full-back managed to drive through into the penalty box and had the goal at his mercy, but he attempted a slide pass to Sterling that was cut out.
Chilwell has joked about his own individual error in an Instagram post immediately after the game.
There’s been a humorous response in the comment section from Tottenham star Maddison. There’s clearly a great off-field relationship between the former Leicester teammates as Maddison has ripped into the Chelsea defender.
Chilwell wrote on Instagram: “Absolute honour to lead the boys out tonight at the Bridge. Ps. Shooting practise for me tomorrow.”
Maddison replied: “You don’t need to practice shooting bro, you need to practice deciding to shoot.”
Chilwell is usually a safe option when it comes to goalscoring full-backs, but a moment of craziness cost him a golden chance to score against Luton.
Thankfully, he can joke about the moment because it didn’t impact the result for his side.
