EVIL CURVE: Fans praised Antony’s spirit as Man Utd star created a STRONG performance after give Chelsea a penalty

FANS slammed Antony after realising he had contributed to more Chelsea goals than Manchester United in the Premier League this season.

The Brazilian was given a rare start at Stamford Bridge in place of Marcus Rashford, who dropped to the bench.

The winger has not produced a goal or assist in the Premier League this season

Antony was given a chance to impress but he did the exact opposite less than 20 minutes into the game.

With Chelsea already leading thanks to a Conor Gallagher strike, defender Marc Cucurella burst into the United penalty box.

Antony tracked the Spaniard before diving in to try and win the ball – but he brought down Cucurella instead.

The resulting penalty was dispatched by Cole Palmer for his 19th goal of the season, with fans realising Antony had now been involved in more Chelsea goals than United in the Prem.

In that moment, the winger had failed to produce a single goal or assist in the league this season, although he has scored twice in the FA Cup and produced an assist in the competition.

One fan reacted saying: “Atrocious.”

Another added: “Worst signing in Premier League history.”

A third wrote: “How can you have zero goals in match day 31 playing as winger.”

And another commented: “No words. šŸ¤”

But Antony responded in the second half, setting up Alejandro Garnacho for his second goal of the match with a cross with the outside of his left foot, earning one of the assists of the year.

Manchester United lost 4-3 in a thrilling match as two late goals from Chelsea sealed the victory.

Since Antony, 24, has received a lot of criticism this season, new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe may decide to let him go in the summer.
