Chelsea moved a step closer to the Premier League title today with a 1-0 over Manchester United courtesy of a well taken goal from Eden Hazard in the first half. Needless to say it was a game watched by millions around the world, and they took to various forms of social media to give their opinions on the match.
Here is how the game unfolded online:
Pregame: the Chelsea fans were in very high spirits, hoping for an attractive win, and getting very passionate:
It didn't take long for the selections to be criticised on both sides though with Oscar getting a lot of slack from Chelsea fans:
This guy was a little confused about who "us" was:
Many thanks to this Manchester United fan for confirming that yes, Red is in fact a colour. PS. Blue? Also a colour.

After three minutes Rooney nearly puts Man United ahead: This fan just couldn't figure out what happened:

Man United fans didn't react well to going a goal behind:

Praveen then decided that the only reason there weren't more goals scored was because no one had asked nicely:
While Vyan decided that Man United need to attack Eden Hazard. A bit too literally.
Both sets of fans on facebook were agreed, the referee is a .....
But the boys on reddit were a much more forgiving bunch:
After the game, more confusing comments about colours:
Then Yamin tried boasting, it didn't work:
The Manchester United fans tried to console themselves by poking fun at Arsenal:
And claiming that their player of the season contender wasn't actually that good:
Van Gaal came in for a lot of stick:
And the excuses started:
Players were targeted
Pride re-stablished:
Penalties argued for, and subsequently shot down. Your argument counts for double if you include that you are a fan.
The world's least congratulatory congratulations:
But maybe Fai had a point:
Whatever about away from home but PL Champions elect at home with stats like this. Chelsea are an embarrassment pic.twitter.com/ys62aF4FKG
