“He silent all his haters “, “Makes Michael Carrick’s team suffered” – Chelsea fans goes wild after Chelsea man silent all his haters in 6-1 win over Middlesbrough
Chelsea reached the first final of the Todd Boehly era after a comprehensive 6-1 thrashing of Championship outfit Middlesbrough at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, January 23.
Fans on X praised Blues full-back Ben Chilwell for his performance as they overcame a 1-0 deficit from the semifinal’s first leg to book their place in the Carabao Cup final.Middlesbrough caused huge shockwaves a fortnight ago at Riverside Stadium when they secured a surprise 1-0 win over their Premier League opponents.
Chelsea asserted their dominance from the off in the second leg as left-back Ben Chilwell came close to opening the scoring for the Blues in the 12th minute.
Starting in his favoured left-back position for the Blues, as opposed to playing as a left winger, Chilwell thrived in the game. The England international was dangerous for the Blues, often pulling the Boro defense out of shape with his intelligent movement.Chelsea fans on X were pleased with his performance in the game, and used the platform to express their excitement, writing:
“Chilwell critics were silent all game.”
“Chilwell made the difference tonight. Glad he’s back.”
Here are more reactions from Chelsea fans on X
@monika_subasic: The Ben Chilwell haters are pretty silent tonight
@kazbahellis: Chilwell made the difference tonight. Glad he’s back.
@Sirdiq_: When Chilwell is in form, he is that guy
@coast2coast84: Great run out from Chilwell. Hope he stays fit
@FelixJohnston_: Chilwell’s runs from LB are such a threat & so underrated. He catches defences lacking all the time with his pace & the fact his runs are so hard to track from deep.
This is why I never understood him playing LW, his runs are so much more threatening when made from deeper
@LDNFootbalI: Ben Chilwell is officially ????????????????. ????
@DonikaKrasniqi1: It’s a different team with Chilwell in shape.
@AgiRenzo: Chilwell is class such forced hate
Chilwell lasted 65 minutes on his first start since his return from a lengthy hamstring injury before being replaced by academy graduate Alfie Gilchrist. He completed 38 passes, including two into the final third, created one chance, and took one shot for Mauricio Pochettino’s side on Tuesday night.
