As the dust slowly started to settle from a panicked, maddening and fractious second half at Stamford Bridge, Wesley Fofana was in no hurry to let this moment pass quickly.
He took in the surroundings of his new home as 'Blue is the Colour' reverberated around a relieved home crowd beginning to filter out into the concourses. The Matthew Harding Lower, the most rambunctious of the four stands at the Bridge, took in his applause and began chanting his name.
Thomas Tuchel did not hesitate to put Fofana into his new-look defence, pairing Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly in a back-three, with Reece James and Marc Cucurella forming the wing-back pair.
