Chelsea fans love what Callum Hudson-Odoi did after coming on against Fulham

Chelsea fans have been going crazy after the impact Callum Hudson-Odoi made when he came off the bench in the win at Fulham on Saturday evening.

The 20-year-old once again started as a substitute for the Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage and was clearly keen to make an impact when he was given a go.

The Blues academy product replaced Hakim Ziyech for the final 15 minutes of the game in west London.

And just three minutes after his arrival, Mason Mount went on to score with the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win.

The scoreline could have been greater though thanks to Hudson-Odoi's brilliant cameo.

The winger produced two outstanding passes which could easily have seen the scoreline be greater for Frank Lampard's side.

The first followed a one-two with fellow sub Tammy Abraham before he pinged a superb pass from the right touchline across field to pick out Christian Pulisic.

The second was created in similar fashion when he broke forward and found Timo Wener with a pinpoint ball over the top.

Neither Pulisic nor Werner were able to make the most of the opportunities as Fulham tracked back but it highlighted the important impact Hudson-Odoi can have on the side.

Fans took to social media post match to hail Hudson-Odoi for his display and have urged Lampard to start him in their next game away at Leicester City on Tuesday night.

Here is a flavour of the fans' reaction.

Completely changed the game after coming in !! Lampard in post-match interview even admitted CHO deserved to start !!

What vision and the pass. I was quite impressed.

P. @PaulCFCDon

He’s got start playing from the start. He’s been brilliant lately.

Mahaz Sayed @SayedMahaz

Callum is really on form right now and our best winger, he needs to start against Leicester

Johnny.O @jopsenica

It’s ridiculous that CHO isn’t getting more minutes. The kid should be starting games. He has more end product than what Pulisic has had this season. He has more goals with half the minutes played.

That first one was exceptional from Callum and absolutely infuriating by Timo.

Callum's passes are next level man
