Raheem Sterling made his Arsenal debut on Sunday following his move from Chelsea on deadline day.
Arsenal beat rivals Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the north London derby, with Raheem Sterling coming on in the second half.
It was also a good weekend for Chelsea, who managed to claim all three points against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
Chelsea fans were baffled by one Enzo Maresca decision ahead of the game and took to X to share their bewilderment. And a day later, supporters also used the same social media platform to talk about Sterling.
Chelsea fans mock Raheem Sterling after Arsenal debut
It is fair to say that Chelsea fans were not too impressed with Sterling’s cameo against Tottenham.
Watching the game, many felt that Sterling has not changed at all, and they did not mean that in a good way.
One Chelsea supporter said: “Classic Sterling there. Get into the box, dribble sideways, lose the ball. This guy clearly doesn’t know how to pass.”
Another said: “At least Sterling is still the same player he was at Chelsea.”
And finally, one Chelsea fan posted: “Raheem Sterling is the same yesterday, today and forever.”
It has been claimed that Todd Boehly wasn’t happy with how Chelsea treated Sterling, but there is nothing he can do about that now.
Chelsea will be hoping to see Raheem Sterling improve at Arsenal
Chelsea will be keen for Sterling to improve at Arsenal as the season goes on and convince them.
If so, then they may be able to sell the 29-year-old to their London rivals. Sterling is on huge wages at Chelsea, earning £325,000 a week, according to Spotrac. The Blues will be desperate to get that off their wage bill for good.
Sterling will also want a permanent exit, as Chelsea have now replaced him with the likes of Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto.
It has taken no time for Sancho to settle in west London, with the wide man making an impact on his own debut.
Sancho played a key role in Chelsea’s win against Bournemouth, setting up Christopher Nkunku’s goal. Nkunku said thank you to Sancho after the game, taking to Instagram to do so.
