Rugby star-turned Kansas City Chief Louis-Rees Zammit was spotted in the crowd at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea's stunning 4-3 comeback win over Manchester United on Thursday.

Rees-Zammit, who joined the two-time reigning Super Bowl champions last week, was seen on camera among the traveling United fans in the away end.

The 23-year-old is a noted fan of the Red Devils, who took a second-half lead through an Alejandro Garnacho header - before a pair of Cole Palmer goals deep into stoppage time gave Chelsea all three points.

Rees-Zammit shocked the rugby world when he quit the sport in January and embarked on the International Player Pathway to pursue a career in the NFL.

And he impressed at his IPP pro day last month as he posted a 4.43 40-yard dash, as well as a 29-inch vertical jump.
