Chelsea great Ashley Cole makes LA Galaxy debut

Ashley Cole stepped out for the first time in a LA Galaxy shirt on Tuesday night.

The English left-back played 58 minutes as the Galaxy drew 0-0 with Mexican side Club Tijuana in a pre-season friendly at Stub Hub Center.

Former Arsenal and Chelsea star Cole, who joined the Galaxy from Italian club AS Roma in late January, put in a strong showing in his first outing for Bruce Arena's side and received a loud applause from the Carson faithful.

He later posted on Twitter his appreciation at making his Galaxy bow.

The five-time MLS Cup champions are gearing up for their CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final first leg against Santos Laguna at home on February 24.
