"Never again", "Be ready to defend Reece" - Reece James' own goal for Chelsea sees Liverpool fans have a field day

 

Chelsea star Reece James scored an embarrassing own goal in their friendly game against Club America on July 17, and Liverpool fans are having a field day about it.

 Just five minutes after Timo Werner put the Blues in front, James leveled the scoring for the Mexican side by putting the ball into his own net.

The right-back wanted to pass it back to Marcus Bettinelli but the goalkeeper was off his line and couldn't intercept the ball despite a quick reaction. It calmly hit the bottom corner and just like that, the score was 1-1.

James' own goal sent Twiterrati into overdrive, iliciting hilarious reactions from the fans, especially the Liverpool supporters. The Chelsea star often draws comparisons with compatriot Trent Alexander-Arnold as both exhibit similar playing styles.

Last season, however, James was hailed as the better right-back among the two, although both players accounted for 14 Premier League goals each. He struck five goals and made nine assists, while his Reds counterpart netted only twice but assisted 12 times.

Following his latest gaffe, though, James has become the butt of all the jokes from Liverpool fans, who had a field day on social media. Some mockingly claimed that James was "supposed to be better than Trent", while one warned Chelses fans to "be ready to defend James" from Alexander-Arnold fans. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions:
