Another Saturday, another afternoon of incredible, exciting, dramatic and unpredictable Premier League action.
It didn’t start too unforgettably with Crystal Palace bullying a 2-0 win out of West Brom, but things soon picked up as Manchester City trounced Newcastle United 6-1 at the Etihad stadium – five goals courtesy of star striker Sergio Aguero.
The 5.30pm kick-off, meanwhile, produced yet another installment of meltdown at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea took the lead through a Willian free kick – his fourth goal from dead ball situations in four games – but it was quickly obliterated by Southampton, who netted thrice past the Blues. Far from retaining the title, the Premier League champions are now in 16th place with eight points from eight games.
As per usual, all that Premier League madness sent Twitter and Facebook into an absolute frenzy of memes, vines and general banter.
Don’t worry if you missed it, because Football Fancast have complied it into one easily accessible place – our legendary Social Media Gallery! Enjoy!
THE BLAME GAME
Another tough afternoon for Chelsea. Everybody’s waiting to see who Mourinho will point his accusative finger at next.
Squawka have a few ideas too…
Messy without Messi
More evidence that the greatest club side in world football are in fact a one-man team. In the absence of injured four-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, Barcelona lost 2-1 to Sevilla.
CALLED IT!
This unlucky chap not only took Sergio Aguero out of his Fantasy Football team, but also predicted that he’d bag five goals against Newcastle United. Gutting.
CHELSEA FANS RIGHT NOW
No description could make this tweet any better. Nailed it.
WE COULDN’T HELP OURSELVES
Everybody’s jumping on the Chelsea bandwagon and we at Football Fancast are no different. Chelsea have lost five games since Jose Mourinho banished the luscious Eva Carneiro from his bench. Already more than last season.
