Chelsea fans on Twitter praise Ivanovic for display against West Ham
Many Chelsea fans on Twitter have been full of praise for Branislav Ivanovic following his display against West Ham.
The Serbian attracted plenty of criticism for his performances last season but looked more like his old self in Monday’s victory.
There was praise too for the likes of Nemanja Matic and Eden Hazard, who were also well short of their best last term but have made encouraging starts this season.
Overall it was a positive night for Chelsea, with the Antonio Conte era off to a winning start.
Absolutely buzzing that Matić & Ivanovic are showing top form again. Big players for the team on form. #CFC.
