Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola was blocked from entering the Stamford Bridge pitch before victory over Tottenham.

BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey informed viewers that a steward at Chelsea had tried to stop the Italian maestro going on the Stamford Bridge pitch.

Zola strutted his stuff in West London for seven years after joining from Parma in 1996 and was part of the BT commentary team for the Blues' 2-1 win over Tottenham.

Humphrey said: “We are reeling. Reeling! From one of the stewards telling Zola not to go on the pitch.

“Rio politely reminded him that Gianfranco Zola owns this football pitch."
