The defender wasn't in the team that played Manchester United at Stamford Bridge but he clearly felt like celebrating the nil all result as he hit Chinawhite with teammate Shaun Wright Phillips.
After clapping champions Man U onto the pitch, the Chelsea team probably didn't think things could get any lower, but the night soured very quickly as the players left the club.

And Girls Aloud stunner Cheryl, 23, won't be best pleased when she hears models Kayleigh Pearson and Natalie Pike were hanging around.
A source said: "Ashley, Shaun and their entourage of 20 people, including Kayleigh and Natalie, left through the back door of the club in the early hours of this morning.
"Ashley's pal proceeded to threaten the waiting snappers with a bottle.
"The police were called immediately and they questioned the guy. About 10 minutes later the group all piled into the back of their cars with some young ladies in tow."

Police then hauled him out, handcuffed him and threw him into a police van while Ashley and Shaun looked on.

But Ash was on best behaviour as he stayed behind his wall of security and enjoyed a lads' night instead.
Other celebs at the club included actor Danny Dyer - who celebrated the premiere of new movie The All Together in Carbon before hitting Chinawhites - and ex-Blue singer Lee Ryan was with a blonde.
Across town, Manchester United celebrated their premiership title with a boozy bash in the Ambassador Club in Mayfair.
The team then boarded their team bus at 2.30am and headed back to Manchester.
At least none of them were arrested.
