Chelsea fans are all saying the same thing about Djordje Petrovic after 5-0 loss to Arsenal tonight

Chelsea supporters were forced to watch their side absolutely dominated tonight as they lost in the Premier League to one of their fiercest rivals.

The Blues were beaten 5-0 by Arsenal away from home, putting a real dent in their already fading hopes at qualifying for Europe at the end of this season.

The rout started just three minutes in, however the embarrasing damage was done after half-time to pile more misery on manager Mauricio Pochettino.

While blame was put at his door for the first goal, a lot can be said about the display of Djordje Petrovic, which says a lot for a game that finished 5-0.

The 24-year-old brought out a string of brilliant saves after that, and kept the scoreline from getting beyond ridiculous.

Chelsea fans praise Djordje Petrovic

Chelsea fans were quick to notice this on social media, sharing their praise for the Serbian despite the fact they were heavily beaten.

One user said: “Petrovic the only Chelsea player who has had a decent game despite conceding 5, tells you everything.”

Another added: “Would be 10-0 without Petrovic.”

A third said: “Petrovic is keeping us in this game.”

Another said: “Petrovic has made about 10 worldie saves but Chelsea back four just aren’t bothered about helping him out at all.”

Finally, one stated: “Petrovic has made some good saves since the first goal. Doing a lot of food here to keep it close.”

It remains to be seen if his performance was good enough for Mauricio Pochettino to trust him with continuing in the starting side for the coming weeks.

That is of course if the manager still has a job, with tonight’s performance and result certainly not going unnoticed by those above him.
