The Argentine fluffed his clearance, which fell into the path of Oliver Skipp, who cannoned a shot in off the underside of the crossbar.

On the other hand, rival fans have been less forgiving.
A Manchester United fan declared: “When I said that Fred is better than this guy Chelsea fans cooked me.”
