Chelsea have won 10 of their 14 Premier League games since the beginning of May [D2 L2]. Only Man City [35] have won more points in the competition in this period.

Sanchez attempted 25 long balls today. 6 were successful. Also only 20 of his 40 passes were successful.

Best player today for me was Jackson, Insane footworks to beat his man, created the Palmer disallowed goal and followed up with a fantastic finish. Drops deep to link up and is also there to finish as well. This guy’s ceiling is very high. What a striker we have on our hands

Next time we see Maresca fielding Sanchez as 9 and Cucu  in goal, we pick our popcorn buckets, sit down and watch silently.

Reece didn't put a foot wrong and could arguably  have easily had a man of the match award.

We are blessed to have Maresca.

But above all, when you hear chelsea sporting directors chasing wolowolo from limpompo as the next wonder kid / striker, OR want to sack Maresca and replace him with Okada Man from Malawi, as long as it's not Ten Hag,  again find your popcorn and just trust.

Reece went full Maldini mode yesterday, Maresca called for him to rise to the moment as a leader and Reece was immense. We have missed him sorely.

A beautiful assist. 💫

Strasbourg have claimed 13 points from their first 9 games, which is their highest tally at this stage of the season since 2003/2004.

I'm not really worried about Ten Hag getting sacked, he always set up United well against Chelsea.

This could be a good thing for us

📊 No player has won more duels in Ligue 1 so far this season than Andrey Santos (63).

Of the 93 players across Europe's top five leagues to win 50+ duels this campaign, the Chelsea loanee holds the fifth-highest success rate (67.7%).

Raphinha (6) is the only Brazilian with more league goals than Andrey Santos (5) in Europe top 5 leagues this season.

Andrey is level with Vinicius. That's crazy!
