Omari Hutchinson fits in
Omari Hutchinson was in Chelsea's matchday squad for the first time on his 19th birthday. It may not have been the result he wished to say on his first trip away with the first team but it was a good opportunity for the former Arsenal youngster to become accustomed with his senior teammates having joined in first-team training on the Friday. Hutchinson has lit up the pitch in Premier League 2 on his way to four goals and three assists in his last six games in the competition, so his involvement felt a worthy reward.
Warming up ahead of the match at the Amex Stadium, Hutchinson appeared to fit right in with Chelsea's substitutes as he kept the ball in the air along with Hakim Ziyech, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria. The latter duo in particular appeared to have fun targetting each other with the Swiss international eventually being the figure unable to keep the ball in the air. Hutchinson was as keen to flick the ear of the midfield as any of his teammates, as the Juventus loanee took his punishment.
