“You are unreal” “Never doubted you” - Chelsea fans in awe of decisive performance from 24-year-old star in 1-0 win over Bournemouth

Chelsea fans were excited after summer signing Jadon Sancho made a decisive impact to help them secure a 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday. The Blues returned to winning ways in the league after dropping points in their last game before the international break against Crystal Palace.

Sancho ended his tumultuous stint as a Manchester United player on transfer deadline day in the summer, joining Chelsea on an initial loan deal. The Blues' fans had to wait two weeks to see him in action, and he delivered a top-level display at the Vitality Stadium.

With summer signing Pedro Neto starting the game on the left wing, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca saw his side struggle in the first half. The Italian manager wasted no time making a change at half-time, introducing Sancho for the Portuguese winger.

Sancho added dynamism to the Blues' attack, eventually providing a decisive assist for the winning goal. Chelsea fans sang the former Borussia Dortmund man's name inside the Vitality Stadium and he received great praise from fans on X.

"Jadon Sancho mate, you are unreal," a fan said.

"Sancho assist! I've never doubted you, my king!"

A fan announced that the forward has shown up in the best possible way.

"No Chelsea fan will scroll past this tweet without liking. Jadon Sancho instant impact. WE HAVE ARRIVED!!! 🔥," a fan wrote.

Another fan declared that the 24-year-old is at Chelsea to shine.

"Sancho is here to shine ✨," a fan said.

A fan hailed Sancho for being a game-changer.

"That’s our star boy. He really changed the game 💙💙💙," they wrote

A fan was impressed by the forward's display.

"This Sancho 10/10 cameo," a fan wrote.

Another fan aimed a dig at Manchester United for allowing the forward to leave.

"Thank you, Manchester United for JADON SANCHO. That's the tweet," a fan posted.

Another fan followed in the same direction by sending a message to the English side.

"I would like to personally thank Manchester United for Jadon Sancho, took your best winger, scored the game winning assist in his very first game. You are 100% the problem," a fan posted.

"Sancho = X-factor," a fan said.

Jadon Sancho registered an assist for Christopher Nkunku's winner at Vitality Stadium in his first Premier League game in over a year. He also created two chances and completed two dribbles.

Robert Sanchez's heroics guide Chelsea to second away league win

Jadon Sancho might have been named the Man of the Match, but Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was in phenomenal form against Bournemouth. The Spaniard was at his best, keeping a clean sheet to guide his side to victory.

Sanchez saved a penalty in the first half with the scores level, denying Evanilson a first goal for the Cherries. He was also called into action a couple of times in the second half. He made seven saves, including five from inside the box.

The goalkeeper came under fire for his error-prone nature earlier this season but put on an amazing performance to help his side claim the three points. Enzo Maresca's side have won the first two away matches this season, picking up seven points from their opening four games.
