'Pure fantasy' - Chelsea fans concerned about Premier League title hope as Man City hammer Leeds

Chelsea fans have been left concerned after watching Manchester City trounce Leeds United 7-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Pep Guardiola’s men wiped the floor with their visitors as each of Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez, John Stones and Nathan Ake got on the scoresheet, with Kevin De Bruyne helping himself to a brace.

The win moves City four points clear at the top of the Premier League, and five points clear of Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea as the title race moves into a key period.

The Blues will hope to cut that gap once more as they host Everton at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

Despite Chelsea having the chance to regain ground on the reigning Premier League champions, some Blues fans have already seen enough to be concerned about the chances of the title coming to Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2017 at the end of the campaign.

Here are the best of their responses following Manchester City’s emphatic win against Marcelo Bielsa’s men.


Victory against Leeds now means that City have won each of their last seven matches in the Premier League.

That run appears to have come at the perfect time, with Tuchel’s men just beginning to stutter at the start of what is a busy festive period.

Chelsea have won just two out of their last five games in all competitions and three out of their last six games in league action.
