Following their team’s tight victory over Leeds on Saturday, Chelsea fans flocked from Stamford Bridge into London’s streets, sarcastically singing, “We’ve scored a goal!”
For a team used to competing at the top of the table, it is morbid humor, but the fact that the Blues were celebrating their first home goal since January 15 in this way reveals where they are at the moment.
Chelsea’s victory over Leeds was their third in as many games, and while it will help relieve some of Graham Potter’s strain, it will need to be followed by a strong showing against Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League last-16 second leg on Tuesday night.
