Chelsea fans have been going crazy after loanee Conor Gallagher found the net for West Bromwich Albion in their Premier League encounter with Crystal Palace on Sunday lunchtime.
It was his second goal in as many games in a Baggies shirt having joined the club back in September on a season-long loan deal.
The 20-year-old midfielder is yet to make his Chelsea debut but after two impressive loans at Charlton Athletic and Swansea City last season, he is continuing his development in the Midlands.
The appearance against Palace was his seventh in a West Brom shirt so far this season and the second time he has found the net.

Gallagher kept his composure as he made space around 15 yards out before slotting the ball into the corner of the net, first time, past Vicente Guaita.
Gallagher’s strike was in vain, however, as the Baggies were thumped 5-1 in the end.
He was the stand-out performer for the hosts though who are just one place off the bottom of the table.
Blues supporters were quick to take to social media following Gallagher’s strike. Here is some of the reaction.

I’d be stunned if Conor Gallagher ain’t playing for Chelsea next season.

Conor Gallagher is progressing at an alarming rate.
He was really good in his loan spells in the Championship (Charlton and Swansea) and now he is the best midfielder in WBA and kinda carrying this WBA team.
Chelsea’s midfield is stacked next season. Damn.
