Chelsea fans aim Premier League title dig at Arsenal during clash against Bournemouth

Chelsea fans finally have something to cheer about. Conor Gallagher opened the scoring for Frank Lampard's side against Bournemouth with a good header inside the opening 10 minutes of their clash at the Vitality Stadium.

Gallagher has now scored two in his last three appearances for the Blues, who have had a shocking goalscoring record in the Premier League this season. Lampard made five changes from the side that lost 3-1 against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.

Gary Neville slammed the Blues for their performance against the Gunners and criticised the players for 'throwing the towel in.' Chelsea remain languishing down in the bottom half of the Premier League table with rivals fans joking that they could be relegated this term.

Just 10 minutes after Gallagher's goal, the Blues found themselves level once again after Matias Vina equalised for the Cherries. However, Chelsea fans burst into song with a number of different chants following their opening goal which included an X-rated dig at their London rivals, Arsenal.

At first the travelling Blues chanted: "We've scored a goal! We've scored a goal, we've scored a goal, we've scored a goal!"

Chelsea have scored just four goals since Lampard took over as caretaker boss, with Gallagher's header taking their total goal tally for the season to just 32 in 34 games. The Blues fans then chanted towards the home crowd: "How s*** must you be? We're winning away!"

This chant was then quickly followed up by a dig at Arsenal - who are involved in the Premier League title race with reigning champions Manchester City. The Gunners had held a strong advantage at the top of the table heading into April but now find themselves trailing City - with Pep Guardiola's side currently leading 2-0 against Leeds, which could see them move four points clear of Mikel Arteta' side.

The Chelsea fans may have witnessed one of the worst seasons in history for their club, but they still found the time to make fun of their London rivals. The Blues' supporters sang: "We're all having a party when Arsenal f*** it up!" - referring to Arsenal 'bottling' their first chance to win the Premier League title since 2004.
