Ramires takes to social media to dedicate his goal against Newcastle United to his newborn son

For any dad, the birth of a child is one of the best moments of their life. For any footballer, scoring a goal to earn a point for his club is one of the best moments of their career.

Combine the two and put a few hours in between, and you have Ramires‘s day!

Following the result, Ramires took to social media on Saturday evening to dedicate his goal against Newcastle United to his newborn son Bruno, along with a message.

He wrote:  “That goal was for you, my boy!!! Let’s keep on fighting until the end! Come on, Chelsea! #Bruno #CFC #Ramires”

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho admitted he owed a debt of gratitude to substitutes, Ramires and Willian who were responsible for the fightback which earned a 2-2 draw at Newcastle.

Chelsea were trailing 2-0 and seemingly heading for their fifth defeat in eight games when Ramires sparked the recovery with a long-range shot in the 79th minute.

He then distracted Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul sufficiently to enable Willian's free-kick to find a way past him.
