Gary Neville has brutally joked that Chelsea star Cesar Azpilicueta's performance during the first half of the Blues' clash against Manchester City reminds him of his final days in professional football. Despite Pep Guardiola choosing to make nine changes after his City side secured another Premier League title, Chelsea found themselves under significant pressure and behind after just 12 minutes.
Wesley Fofana surrendered possession in his own half with Cole Palmer pouncing on the error to set Julian Alvarez free who then emphatically dispatched beyond Kepa. On co-commentary duty, Neville went on to criticise three Chelsea defenders for their roles in the goal.
The Manchester United legend said: "Well we’re 10 minutes in and this Manchester City team which is well below par in terms of selection have been far better than this Chelsea team in this first 10 minutes. Really poor giveaway from Fofana, Azpilicueta is out of position, Chalobah is out of position, but the pass from Cole Palmer is never in doubt - he makes it look really easy."
