Chelsea fans are fuming after they lost 2-0 to Manchester United at home, and they are particularly angry at the refereeing.
The Blues had two goals ruled out and even worse saw Harry Maguire stay on the pitch after sticking his boot into Michy Batshuayi’s groin.
That really got fans on social media inflamed, and they took to their phones and laptops to pour out their frustration about Anthony Taylor’s performance as a referee.
In the end we didn’t go enough to win the game, and we missed chances, but to lose it like this is truly gutting. All we wanted was a fair shot at winning, and this combined with the injuries we picked up has ruined us.
Josh Hart the NBA player, said the team “got cheated” by the referee, and not many people will disagree.

Chelsea won't like it but have to be honest here: VAR fully deserved the three points tonight. All over the Blues from the off, won every 50/50, did all the dirty work it needed to. Teams will hate coming up against it for the rest of the season

VAR aside, it’s been clear for some time that Giroud has more to offer Chelsea than Batshuayi… not least because Batshuayi has offered virtually nothing since Amsterdam #CFC

An entertainingly appalling game of football.

How will Frank Lampard spin this into classic Lampard interview format?
"There were some calls I disagreed with, Anthony Taylor is a crocked blind f**k hahaha, but no seriously, he's an absolute incompetent and the rest of the refs are no better."#CFC #CHEMUN

Got cheated 🤦🏽♂️

I could accept VAR if Maguire had been sent off and the Zouma goal stood. Both were terrible decisions. Offside is offside – but they need to get the others right as well
