“Somebody should tell him this is not Champions League final”, “Man plays like Kante” – fans goes ‘crazy’ after Chelsea star throw another massive performance in 3-0 win over Wolves
What a win from the Blues!
Conor Gallagher’s performance during Chelsea’s 3- 0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on October 8 won over Chelsea supporters.
In the final seconds of the first half, Kai Havertz gave the Blues their first goal. From a superb Mason Mount cross, he produced a looping header.
For Graham Potter’s team, Christian Pulisic added a second goal in the second half. Mount was once again the provider as he played a one-two with Pulisic before the American finished from a tight angle.
Armando Broja scored the third in injury time after receiving a pass from Mateo Kovacic, and the Albanian unleashed a stunning shot to beat Jose Sa.
However, Chelsea fans were utterly impressed by Gallagher’s performance during the game. They lauded him for his fantastic work ethic as the midfielder covered a lot of ground.
He provided three key passes, and made five tackles, two interceptions and two clearances.
Many compared his presence to that of N’Golo Kante and raised his energy. Others opined that former manager Thomas Tuchel was right when he compared the player to Kante.
Gallagher was pivotal for the Blues last weekend as well. He scored a stunning winner against Crystal Palace after coming on as a late substitute as the west London side won 2-1.
Here are some of the best reactions across Twitter from Chelsea fans:
@CFCGuss: Gallagher in the first half vs Wolves was lit.
@cfcRon___: Him and Kante in the same team would be like having 10 extra players.
@CFCevanfj: finally got his moment to shine
@LDNFootbalI: The energy of Conor Gallagher…
@ftblsanz: Potter has unlocked Gallagher. Work horse.
@84w3FC: Gallagher has been crazy good. That attacking RCM role is cash money for him.
@lloydtweetz: Tuchel was playing Gallagher in a pivot, such a terrorist that guy
@BobbyVincentFL: Good start from Chelsea. Gallagher looks so much better in a role where’s he free to express himself more. #CFC
@cfckel: Koulibaly has been fantastic so far Gallagher just keeps on winning balls, Tuchel might be right. He has that kante vibe in him
@richardsonjnr7: Somebody tell Gallagher it’s just a Premier League game against Wolves not Champions League final. He’s running this game from defence to attack. What a player!
