Chelsea fans in New York who attended a screening of Saturday’s game with Liverpool got a surprise when club legends Ashley Cole and Michael Essien showed up… and brought the Premier League trophy with them.
A lucky group of US-based Blues were picked up Chelsea-branded bus with former players Cole and Essien on board.
The bus took them to a screening event attended by 500 Chelsea fans, who witnessed Antonio Conte’s side draw 1-1 at Anfield via NBC’s live coverage.
Cole and Essien had a kickabout with two of NBC’s pundits.
The pair also led a march of Chelsea supporters through the streets while holding the trophy which they both picked up during their time at Stamford Bridge.
