“On behalf of all Chelsea fans”, I would like to apologize to you”, “we were to harsh on you” – Fans sends apology message to Chelsea star after stunning display in 2-1 win over Palace
Conor Gallagher’s late goal helped Chelsea defeat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the Premier League today, and the youngster’s supporters believe they were unfair to him.
On October 1, at Selhurst Park, the 21-year-old midfielder made his debut for the team with an incredible long-range goal in the 90th minute.
He skillfully avoided his defender on the edge of the box and blasted a fierce shot into the top corner. Vicente Guaita, the goalkeeper for Palace, had no chance of stopping his strike as the Blues earned their fourth league victory of the year.
It was his 11th goal in the English top-flight but the first one in Chelsea colors and the Blues faithful could not contain their excitement.
Gallagher has received his fair share of criticism this season for poor displays, including a red card against Leicester City in August. He struggled to adapt to life in west London after returning from his loan spell at Crystal Palace.
However, the midfielder came off the bench today and turned in a talismanic display. This is now changing perceptions about him among Chelsea’s fanbase.
However, One fan admitted he was a bit harsh on Gallagher while another issued the player an apology. Here are some of the best reactions to his stunning goal today:
