What Morecambe fans were heard chanting at Axel Disasi during Chelsea defeat

Chelsea’s third round FA Cup tie against Morecambe at Stamford Bridge went to plan.

Enzo Maresca‘s men managed to beat the visitors comfortably, winning 5-0 in the end.

However, it could have become a really awkward tie after Christopher Nkunku missed a penalty in the first half. He redeemed himself in the second 45 minutes, though, managing to get his name on the scoresheet.

There was also one moment during the game where Axel Disasi would have frustrated Chelsea supporters. He made one mistake, and the Morecambe fans made sure to let him know about it.

Morecambe fans mock Axel Disasi and Chelsea

Disasi will not be joining Juventus this month despite attracting interest from the Italian giants, but the central defender continues to be linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Nevertheless, Maresca still decided to start him in Chelsea’s win against Morecambe earlier.

In the first half, there was one moment where Disasi passed the ball straight out of play. In response, Morecambe’s travelling support started to chant: “Premier league? You’re having a laugh!”

While Disasi could be leaving west London during the January transfer window, Marc Guehi could be arriving. In fact, it has been claimed that Chelsea could sell Disasi to help raise funds for the Crystal Palace defender.

Axel Disasi’s numbers vs Morecambe

In the end, Disasi had the last laugh as Chelsea ran out 5-0 victors. He also did not have to do too much defending during that match.

For example, the 26-year-old finished the game having made just one tackle and one clearance.

Bournemouth will obviously be a much harder test on Tuesday, though there is no guarantee that Disasi will start.

Levi Colwill will be expected to come into the side, meaning that the Frenchman could lose his spot in the team.

Of course, Maresca could move him to right-back, but that is not something that has worked this season.

As a result, John Obi Mikel has questioned Maresca after his decision to use him there at times instead of Malo Gusto.
