The best way for a striker to get the supporters back onside after a no-no - like conducting an unsolicited interview - is to score.
Get a goal against their great rivals and let the fans lose themselves in the celebrations.
Romelu Lukaku had some golden chances to mark his return to the Chelsea line up in that fashion on Wednesday night.
One of them arrived after only 20 seconds. He shook loose Davinson Sanchez then tried to pass when a £97.5million striker should be more selfish and shoot for goal.
