As someone who holds dreams of playing for Chelsea’s first team, Fikayo Timori’s return to Stamford Bridge couldn’t have gone much worse.
The on-loan defender returned with Frank Lampard’s Derby County in the EFL Cup alongside fellow youth star Mason Mount.
He’s been playing excellently for the Championship club, consequently helping them too sixth in the table.
And after being given special permission to play against their parent club, Mount and Tomori would have been hoping to impress.

However, it took just five minutes for Tomori to make his impact on the match.
He skewed a cross from Davide Zappacosta into his own net, past the despairing Scott Carson.
Although he recovered well, Derby lost 3-2 to Chelsea and therefore were went home empty-handed.

It's not often a Chelsea youngster who's been out on loan gets the chance to score for Chelsea.

Fikayo Tomori has scored more goals for Chelsea this season (1) than Olivier Giroud (0) despite playing in 9 games less…

Oh dear. Unlucky Tomori. If you've watched him play a few times, you'd know he is better than Christensen.
