Former Chelsea player Tino Livramento definitely enjoyed Newcastle United's win over his old side last night if his comment on Joe Willock's social media is anything to go by.
Tino Livramento didn't start the game last night with Eddie Howe opting to go with Emil Krafth instead - a move that definitely worked out well as the Swede had a blinder of a game, but despite not being on the pitch for most of it, he certainly had himself a good time.
Newcastle executed a two-half strategy to perfection last night by going on the offensive in the first half and grabbing themselves a two-goal lead and then sitting back in the second half and soaking up all of the Chelsea pressure and hitting them on the counter.
The two first half goals came from Alexander Isak who now has two goals in two games, both against Chelsea, while the second goal went down as an OG by Axel Disasi but was claimed, at the time, by Joe Willock after it was his headed flick that sent the ball goalwards to be bundled in.
After the game Joe Willock posted the image of him celebrating his 'goal' to Instagram with no caption - sometimes words just aren't needed.
Bruno Guimaraes has the top comment with the classic "Willockinho" nickname which we've certainly been missing for a while, but it was Tino Livramento's comment that caught the eye.
"Made me smile 😍"
Now, does Tino secretly hate Willock and is it the fact the goal was credited to Axel Disasi that made him smile? Don't be daft. He loved seeing his mate back in action and doing what he does best.
It probably didn't hurt that it was against Chelsea too.
The goal may not have been credited to Joe Willock, but after the year he's had, he's got every right to try and claim it.
Willock definitely did enough last night to put himself in contention to start against his former side, Arsenal on Saturday.
