Chelsea winger Jadon Sancho was showing all that he is capable of offering once again.
The youngster put in another brilliant performance for the Blues, as he tries to emulate the form he was in at Borussia Dortmund.
As the Blues beat Brighton, Sancho was the unsung hero. He earned his side a penalty and provided them with an assist as the London club ran out 4-2 winners.

But this has rattled some Manchester United fans, who took to social media to vent their fury with Erik ten Hag. Sancho and the Dutchman fell out a year ago, with Ten Hag publically slamming the player to the media for his conduct in training.
“On his performance in training, we didn't select him. You have to reach the level every day at Manchester United.” Sancho snapped back later that evening on social media, saying that was “completely untrue.”
But some fans believe that, in hindsight, they were too hasty.
What did Man Utd fans say?
You lot let ten Hag and Mark Goldbridge gaslight you into thinking Sancho was shit.

Ten Hag is a war criminal
The fact that you let Sancho go to a rival and now he's out there balling for fun
Nah he'll pay for this— Zidane_realist🇯🇲 (@RealistZidane) September 28, 2024
Every day that passes by, it becomes more and more clear than Ten Hag just had a Sancho agenda
He saw Sancho week in week out in training and gave Rashford/Garnacho more chances than him 😂😂— JM™️ (@JM10ii) September 28, 2024
The truth is Sancho’s proven he’s a top player under numerous clubs and managers, Ten Hag is the odd one out.

Sancho genuinely despises the earth ten Hag walks on because he never performed like this at United

I’m just saying, Ronaldo never had problem with any manager till ten Hag
Sancho looks like he’s been genuinely trying when he went back to Dortmund and now at Chelsea— sven (@svenxz_) September 28, 2024
Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea landed the winger for €30 million, a big departure from the Manchester side's previous valuation of €40m-€50m.
Initially, talks between Chelsea and Man Utd had centred on a swap deal with Raheem Sterling. The winger has been told by coach Enzo Maresca that he has no future at the club and would have been open to moving back to Manchester. But the former England international left for Arsenal.
Sancho appears to be back to his best standard, only this time for Chelsea.
