Chelsea ripped apart by original Coca-Cola kid!

Fenerbahce's London-born star Colin Kazim-Richards first came to notice at Brighton when he was signed thanks to cash raised from a Coca Cola competition.

Groomed at Bury, Kazim-Richards joined Fener last summer after a maiden Premiership season with Sheffield United.

After scoring against Chelsea, Kazim-Richards said: "It was great to score my first goal with my left foot. But we've got a different ball game next week because Chelsea are very good at home, so we have to just enjoy tonight's win and get over it quickly."

On Kazim-Richards, signed last summer for £1.5million from Sheffield United, Fener coach Zico said: "He's getting used to the team and the way we play.

"He is a quality player and when he handles the adaptation he will make a great contribution. He will be successful for us and Turkey."
