His strike was followed by second half goals from Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez as Atletico ran out 3-0 winners.

Gallagher capped off a flowing passing move from the home side to score his first goal for the club.

The England international calmly stroked the ball under the goalkeeper inside the penalty area before being mobbed by his team-mates.

His effort had fans praising the 24-year-old on social media as he continues to settle in Spain.

Reacting to the goal, one supporter wrote: “His movement there is class, between the lines. Chelsea had him so wrong.”

Another added: “Movement and vision are incredible. He would have worked well this season in that Chelsea side.”

A Chelsea fan also commented: “We lost a good one there. Hope he smashes it.”

Meanwhile, one more said: “Living the dream in Spain. He’ll be in the next England squad no question.”

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

Gallagher kept his place in the England squad for this month’s Nations League matches but was an unused substitute against both Ireland and Finland.

Meanwhile, he has now won all three of his matches since joining Atletico in August.

The Chelsea academy graduate completed a £34million move to the Spanish capital after 16 years with the Blues.

He penned a five-year deal with the club and is already a fan favourite, with supporters giving him his own song.

Gallagher was also welcomed to the club in a bonkers unveiling following his move, with a motorbike gang and Spidermen appearing at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Chelsea are a circus – it will be TERRIBLE for football if they win anything, says Troy Deeney

CHELSEA are a circus — aren’t they?, writes Troy Deeney.

But the bigger concern should be if somehow, some way, Todd Boehly’s insane master-plan brings about success this season.

Finish in the top four. Win a trophy like the FA Cup.

He will then turn around and say: “See, it works” and all of a sudden, other clubs will begin considering copying this mad model to try and compete in the Premier League.

Before you know it, there will be a bigger divide between the top clubs and the rest and this country’s top flight will become something we have been fighting against — a Super League.

The smaller sides and promoted teams will be wiped out by the elite and will end up saying, ‘What’s the point?’

Football as we know it will change, and there will be no going back.

As a neutral, you don’t want to wish failure on a club or a regime, but it’s depressing to think about.

We should almost be looking at it in amazement — the owners have come in with this model and they’ve treated it as if they are buying stocks and shares, not players or human beings.

Boehly has wiped away any sense of sentiment or old-school values from that club and the worrying thing is that he doesn’t seem to care.

Does he even like football?
