“Still the problem with Paul Pogba - the excellent stuff comes with basic errors. A loose header in Chelsea’s half to cede possession followed not long after by basic marking error to allow Antonio Rudiger a free header. #CHEMUN,” wrote another social media user.

“Paul Scholes with a brilliant explanation of that Chelsea goal: Pogba-Lindelof supposed to exchange covering duties, with Pogba covering Luiz and Lindelof on Rudiger. "They have seen it before, they have been told about it, they just didn't sort it out on the pitch"... wrote a netizen.
