Former Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho wasted no time making his mark in Chelsea's Carabao Cup tie against Cardiff City after receiving some boos. Introduced at half-time in place of Tyrique George, the 21‑year‑old was met with boos from the home supporters as he took his first touch at the Cardiff City Stadium.
"They do not like him," commentator Alan Smith said on Sky Sports. Garnacho responded in the best possible way, ignoring the jeers and firing Chelsea into the lead with a composed finish.
Cardiff hit back through David Turnbull, levelling the score, but Chelsea restored their advantage when Pedro Neto struck to put the Blues back in front. The Argentine capped his performance with a stoppage-time strike, sealing Chelsea's place in the next round.
Garnacho is yet to kickstart his Chelsea career after completing the £40million move from United to Chelsea in the summer. He has started just seven Premier League games and scored once in 10 appearances thus far.
