Chelsea returned to winning ways on Monday night in dramatic circumstances with the 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace.
After a laboured first half where they went into the break a goal down, Mauricio Pochettino introduced Christopher Nkunku from the bench to try and make a change on the second half.
It took mere minutes for this to come to fruition, and two goals from Conor Gallagher as well as a dagger from Enzo Fernandez completed the turnaround in eventful circumstances.
The result extended their very impressive run against Palace, with it being 13 wins in a row in the Premier League against them
Just when the side thought they saw enough of Chelsea, their social media team delivered a tongue in cheek joke off the back of the win.
They posted a video on TikTok where a home supporter cheekily asked the question to Blues manager Pochettino if they could have Gallagher back, after his extremely successful run a few seasons ago.
Chelsea send brutal message to Crystal Palace
The caption simply stated: “The answer is no” whilst they replayed his brace from Monday’s game as well as his name being sung by the travelling supporters.
Despite his great performance and overall rise in standards in recent weeks, talk has not disappeared that he could end up being surplus to requirements at the end of the season.
It has been claimed since this game that Tottenham are keeping tabs on a potential deal if his contract situation does not change at the end of the season.
There will be a hope amongst supporters that they can raise enough funds from selling outcast players such as Ian Maatsen, Armando Broja and Trevoh Chalobah that they can spend big in the summer without having to part ways with one of Pochettino’s go to players so far since taking over the club.
