Chelsea fans watched their side beat Bournemouth 1-0 on Saturday evening, and took to Twitter to delight in the performance of centre-back Antonio Rüdiger.
Chelsea dominated possession in the first half but couldn’t get the breakthrough goal, with Alvaro Morata unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.
The striker turned provider in the second half when he picked out a pass for Eden Hazard.
Bournemouth’s Simon Francis completely missed his kick which let Hazard in on goal and the Belgian beat Asmir Begovic on his near post for the winning goal.
It might not have been the most emphatic victory but it was a solid performance and Antonio Conte will be pleased at the clean sheet – his side’s first in four Premier League games.
Antonio Rudiger, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta were the centre-backs tonight and Chelsea fans were delighted with the performance of the former.
Rudiger, 24, joined Chelsea for £34.5million this summer from Roma and he appears to be slotting into the Chelsea first team well.

I'm not anti-Cahill and I don't appreciate the haters, but Rudiger is better. Excellent signing.

What a beast Rudiger

Rudiger is elite on the ball. Gets the attack started at the same time as cutting out the opposition attack.

Look at Rudiger my God!?

Never want too see Rudiger off the team sheet again.
Absolute class defender.
Great signing #CFC— Ned (@NedCFC_) October 28, 2017
