Manchester United didn't deserve the win vs Chelsea

A Chelsea fan, Miracle Okafor, called for some of the club's staff to be sacked because of the poor performances. “I was on Instagram trying to look for some of these people so I can tell them how they're ruining the club, thank God some of these players are not on over 200k weekly, some people need to leave the club.” Watch the full video here.

“Chelsea fans have forgotten the last time they scored a Premier League goal. We've defeated the World Champions home and away. If you beat the best, who are you? – Chukwuma Henry opined.

“Garnacho should just leave. He's a disgrace. Anything that comes from the devil cannot be right. We can overlook Palmer, but not Garnacho,” Mekele Gahia added.

Chelsea's loss to the Red Devils now puts them ten points below United in the Premier League standings, and seven points outside of the top four spots.
