Reports have claimed that Chelsea substitute last night Noni Madueke was visibly delighted to see Benoit Badiashile find the net for the Blues last night.
According to Football London, the 21-year-old joined in the celebrations with the Frenchman after what was surely a big moment for him personally.
Yesterday saw Badiashile make his first appearance for the club of the season after an injury he suffered at the back-end of the prior campaign.
When Frank Lampard claimed that he would be out for a while, many did not expect it to be the best part of six months before we saw him on the pitch again.
However, he made it worth the wait when he found the net in the first half to give Chelsea the lead against Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Cup.
Among his celebrations, plenty of teammates looked delighted for him. One of whom was Axel Disasi, who is known to be a close friend.
Another though was Madueke, who made sure to make it clear just how proud he was of his teammate.

They booked their place in the quarter-finals of the competition, which they will surely fancy their chances at making a deep run in.
Badiashile got through an hour last night unscathed, which will have been a big bonus to Mauricio Pochettino, who will have been beginning to hope for more options to be available at the back.
He has been forced to utilise Thiago Silva in every game so far this season, which surely will not have been the plan for the 39-year-old.
In a night where returns from injury were the main story, club captain Reece James also got through his first start since the opening game of the season, which will have been great to see inside Stamford Bridge last night.
