Guus Hiddink may have stepped in to save the day, but it is familiar face John Obi Mikel who has become the new darling of Stamford Bridge. The Nigerian was worshipped on social media by the Blues faithful after a dominant display in the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace. 'Mikel Mania' trended across the globe with fanciful comparisons to Zinedine Zidane being made and even calls for a statue to be erected in his honour. Chelsea supporters have had precious little to cheer about all season, so it is with a massive hint of irony that their oft-derided anchorman is providing the most smiles.
