It’s the kind of spikiness that we presume José Mourinho will love to see from the prodigy.
One fan even commented that it’s clear he’s been ‘moulded’ by the Portuguese coach.
Aside from his antics off the ball, Scarlett also put Chelsea to the sword on their own west London turf earlier.
He netted twice in Tottenham’s 6-1 win over the Blues, taking his tally for the season to 22 goals in just 21 appearances.
