Despite a change in manager and another heavy spending, Chelsea started their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 defeat at home against Manchester City.

Erling Haaland scored a goal to give Man City the lead in the 18th minute, and then former Chelsea player Mateo Kovacic sealed the win for Man City six minutes from time.

Although Chelsea had a spirited game, they were punished for lack of clinicalness in front goal. With the defeat, the Enzo Maresca era at the London club has also started with a disappointing defeat.

The Blues were not outclassed, but they suffered big time due to their lack of quality in front of goal. They had a dismal outing in the pre-season fixtures, which saw them losing to Celtic, Real Madrid and drawing with third-tier club Wrexham.

The fans reacted to the Premier League giants after their defeat against Man City. Here are some of the reactions.

This user took a dig at Chelsea in a sarcastic way.

This user predicts the Blues will finish lower than he originally predicted, which is fifth given the money they have spent.

This fan calls for the axe of Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine midfielder was bought for in excess of ₤100 million but he has so far failed to live up to the billing.

How alarming is this? Todd Boehly left the stands after one of his old players Mateo Kovacic scored the second goal.

Despite a losing start, the Blues will have a chance to rectify that as they take on Servette in the UEFA Conference League qualification match, before the away league match against Wolves.
