Chelsea defender David Luiz has revealed the reason that he singled out a fan after the Blues’ 4-2 extra time EFL Cup win over Leicester City on Tuesday, to hand him his shirt. Luiz and his teammates overturned a two goal deficit, to defeat the Premier League champions 4-2 at the King Power Stadium.

As the players celebrated at full-time, the Brazilian defender identified a travelling Blues fan and handed him his shirt. Luiz took to his Instagram account to explain, “Great comeback lads! But I really want to say thank you, for this little boy in the pic.

“First time I saw him, he was running from the stadium until my hotel to say hello to me 5 years ago and many others until my home! He always was so respectful with me and many times he just want to say “congrats for the game and good night.”

Luiz added: ‘I saw one guy running, screaming my name and telling me to wait, and when I saw the little boy, now so big, making the same action just to say to me “we support you and the team David! I just said thanks God, for giving me this job and opportunities to meet people like this little boy, now a big guy.”
