A huge cheer greeted Gonzalo Higuain as his name was read out over the club's tannoy on Sunday but in truth, he was quiet on his debut at Stamford Bridge against Sheffield Wednesday.
However, there were promising signs that the Argentine will fit into Maurizio Sarri's system well, as he spent his 82 minutes on the pitch asking questions of Wednesday’s defence and making runs in behind Jordan Thorniley and Tom Lees.
The 31-year-old showed patience and confidence as he slotted into life with his new team-mates on a freezing night in west London, as Willian scored two and Callum Hudson-Odoi added another to send their side into the fifth round of the FA Cup.
