Chelsea were in Premier League action against Leicester City.

Chelsea fans were not happy with one of their players on the back of his performance against Leicester City.

After the latest international break came to an end, domestic football returned to centre stage.

On Saturday afternoon, Chelsea travelled to the King Power Stadium to take on newly-promoted Leicester.

Nicolas Jackson gave the Blues a first-half lead after netting in the 15th minute.

In the second half, the visitors doubled their advantage with Enzo Fernandez heading home to make it 2-0.

Despite a positive result, Chelsea fans were less than happy with winger Noni Madueke’s performance.

The 22-year-old failed to get into the match as he had a goal ruled out for offside and was in the wrong place at the wrong time as he deflected Cole Palmer’s goal-bound shot away for a Leicester goal kick.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: “What is Madueke still doing on the pitch for heaven sake?”

Another tweeted: “Madueke needs to chill calm it down.”

A third fan added: “Madueke needs double the bench time Enzo got.”

Someone else wrote: “Can’t see Madueke keeping his spot over Neto after this game today unfortunately.”

A fifth commented: “I have never seen Madueke making a right decision in final third. Most indecisive attacker in our squad.”

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, former Manchester City and England captain Steph Houghton said: “Leicester have played well in this second half, but that’s what Chelsea do. They drive forward and you have got to be switched on in them scenarios.”

Eventually, Madueke was taken off in the 85th minute, with Jadon Sancho coming on in his place.

In stoppage time, Leicester were given a penalty after Bobby Decordova-Reid was fouled by Romeo Lavia. Jordan Ayew stepped up and scored to make it 2-1.

As a result of the victory over Leicester, Chelsea stay third in the Premier League table and are three points ahead of the likes of Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Brighton and Hove Albion ahead of the remaining fixtures of the weekend.

Ian Wright has slammed Al-Ittihad’s approach for Mohamed Salah, with the former Arsenal striker fuming with how late the Saudi Arabia side moved for the Liverpool winger.

Speaking on the Kelly and Wright Show, the pundit was not pleased with how Al-Ittihad had gone about their pursuit for Salah, with the Reds receiving a £150m offer on deadline day for the winger.

With Al-Ittihad believed to be preparing a second bid for Salah, Liverpool find themselves in a difficult situation where they could be forced to reject a world-record offer due to the English market being shut.

There’s a growing expectation that Salah will one day move to Saudi Arabia, yet in the words of Wright, the way Al-Ittihad have gone about their interest in the winger has been poor this summer.

Wright said: “To come in for a player of that calibre, of that level, you’re not going to let him go at that stage of the window but it’s almost disrespectful to him.

“If you’re going to do that, then do it in time because you’re trying to buy him. Now he’s just unsettled.”

Wright hits the nail on the head on Liverpool’s Salah situation

To say Al-Ittihad are playing Liverpool for fools would be an understatement, with the Saudi Arabia side making a mockery out of Salah’s importance to the Reds with their deadline day offer.

And Wright hits the nail on the head with his assessment of the entire situation, with Liverpool aware that selling Salah won’t be as easy as throwing as much as possible for the winger.

Indeed, Liverpool will let Salah go when they see fit and at the right time, and even with the amounts Al-Ittihad are fronting, the Reds know better than to sell the winger without a replacement lined up.
