Chelsea were truly humbled in their second match against Manchester City in the space of four days. If there was positivity beneath the 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in midweek there was little but general anger, resentment and shades of toxicity at the Etihad Stadium from the Blues' faithful.
A Riyad Mahrez freekick, Julian Alvarez penalty and well worked Phil Foden goal put the hosts 3-0 at half-time and was met with a scathing assessment by Alan Shearer, who labelled Graham Potter's side 'embaressing' and 'unacceptable.' Two teenagers came on in the second half but the game was gone by then.
The result leaves Chelsea 10th in the league and out of both cup competitions in January. Alongside chants for Roman Abramovich and Thomas Tuchel it was a dark day for Potter as things look set get worse before they get better.
