JAKARTA - Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta became a victim of a playful mascot boy when Chelsea had an away match for the 2022/2023 Premier League at Southampton headquarters.

Chelsea and Southampton met in the fifth week at St Mary's Stadium on Wednesday, August 31 in the morning WIB. Azpilicueta was colonized by the mascot boy Southampton as the players lined up in the stadium aisle ahead of kick-off.

The video that recorded the incident has now spread on social media Twitter. In the six-second clip, the boy was seen holding out his hand to invite Azpilicueta to shake hands.

Azpilicueta quickly threw his hand to welcome the boy's hand while smiling. However, the boy just wanted to be careless with the player because he quickly pulled his hand back.

He then stabbed a thumb into the nose with his palm open. Azpilicueta also seemed to keep smiling, but before he pulled his hand back the video had been cut off.

Against Southampton is the second starter Azpilicueta with Chelsea in the Premier League this season. The Spaniard previously played from the first minute when the Blues fought Everton.

However, after that, he appeared as a substitute in three consecutive matches against Tottenham, Leeds, and Leicester. He started again after Reece James' absence.

Chelsea had to go home without points from St Mary's after losing 1-2. This was the loss of Thomas Tuchel's second team after Leed United had previously beaten him in the third week.

The Blues currently have seven points and sit in eighth place in the standings after five games. They got seven points from two wins from one draw.
