Chelsea teenager Michael Golding has awkward handshake exchange with fourth official as the midfielder makes his debut off the bench in FA Cup win over Preston

Chelsea teenager Micheal Golding couldn't hide his excitement in making his Blues bow and shared the moment with a humorous handshake with one of the match officials.

The 17-year-old midfielder made his first appearance for the club as a late substitute for Ezno Fernandez in the club's 4-0 FA Cup Third Round win over Preston.

His excitement was for all to see too, as he waited on the touchline to enter the game alongside the match official, who was holding up the numbers.

Upon seeing it was the young star's debut, the official shook the hand of Golding, before holding his hand out once again to indicate to the player to wait before going onto the pitch.
