Reece James mocks Chelsea teammate after surprise FA Cup performance

Today at 07:01 AM

Reece James has mocked his fellow Chelsea teammate Tosin Adarabioyo after his surprising performance in the FA Cup.

The Blues defeated Morecambe 5-0 on Saturday (11 January) after two goals from Joao Felix and one from Christopher Nkunku as well as a surprise brace from Adarabioyo.

The central defender isn't known for his goalscoring ability, having only scored 10 in his entire career prior to this in 301 appearances.

However, the 27-year-old played a crucial role in getting Enzo Maresca's team into the next round, although he did surprise his teammates.

James took to Instagram to mock his defensive partner by saying, "since when could you shoot."

The Chelsea captain wasn't the only player to send the former Fulham defender a message as Cole Palmer also got in on the action by laughing at him.

Chelsea fans were impressed by Reece James

James has had a difficult first half of the season as he's been riddled with injury problems that have limited him to just four Premier League appearances.

Malo Gusto has been the first-choice right-back this season, while Josh Accheampong has also been given opportunities in James' absence.

However, fans were impressed by the England international against Morecambe and took to social media to claim he's better than Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Chelsea's attention will now turn back to the Premier League as they look to get back to winning ways after four matches without a victory in the competition.

The Blues will face Bournemouth on Tuesday (14 January) before facing Wolves on Monday (20 January).
