Chelsea fans come up with 'the chant we need' during bizarre postponement at Palace

CHELSEA fans claimed they came up with “the chant we need” after Selhurst Park's DJ decision backfired horribly.

The Blues came from behind to win 3-1 at Crystal Palace on Monday after a stunning second-half comeback.

Jefferson Lerma had fired the Eagles before the half hour mark and it remained that way until the break.

However, the start of the second half was delayed because referee Michael Oliver suffered some technical problems.

Some supporters started booing and booing in frustration before Palace's DJ decided to make light of the situation.

Both players were trying to keep warm on the pitch while Oliver was sorting out his communication problem, when suddenly a legendary song started playing over the PA.

Bob Marley's iconic 'Three Little Birds' proved to be a big hit as fans quickly joined in to the chorus of 'Don't worry about a thing'.

And it was soon adopted by the away side, who continued to carry it out throughout the second period as Mauricio Pochettino's men bounced back to claim the points.

Conor Gallagher leveled them within two minutes of the restart and the ex-Palace loanee then put them ahead in extra time.

To rub further salt in the Eagles' wounds, Enzo Fernandez added a third right at the death.

However, it was the sound of Marley's famous song being sung that got most Chelsea fans talking.

And after their season of underwhelming and underwhelming showings, it seems many feel like this is the perfect song for them as it seems to be sticking.

One fan shared footage of them singing along with the words: “The chant we need!”

Another wrote: “This should definitely be added to our list of anthems – just to help us deal with the weekly stress.”

“Absolutely criminal if we don't play that after winning,” said a colleague Blue.

A fourth wrote: “We claim it. We make it our song, our destiny.”

A fifth said: “Glad to see the fans understand the difficult situation we are in. Great love.”

While another said: “I think Bob Marley deserves an assist. The mood changed when we started signing his song.”
