Kevin Pieterson trolls Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag as Chelsea beat Wolves 6-2

Retired England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has attacked Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag in view of Chelsea's outstanding 6-2 Premier League victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, August 25.

Early on, Nicolas Jackson put Chelsea ahead; Cole Palmer then increased the advantage with an incredible goal shortly before halftime. Before the interval, Wolves tied the score at 2-2; Chelsea controlled the second half.

With three goals aided by Palmer, Noni Madueke showed off his skills with his maiden professional hat-trick, and Joao Felix scored a sixth. Following a 2-0 loss to Manchester City in their previous game, this triumph was Enzo Maresca's first league triumph with Chelsea.

Manchester United started their season with a 1-0 victory against Fulham but lost 2-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion the following Saturday (August 24) late goal concession.

Pietersen turned to X to express his take on Chelsea's outstanding performance:

"Has @ChelseaFC stopped scoring yet? Does Ten Hag want to borrow a couple of our goals?"

Speaking of the linked game, With a 2-1 triumph in the second week of the Premier League 2024/25 season on August 24, 2024, Brighton guaranteed a spectacular win against Manchester United. Danny Welbeck, a former United player, scored the opening goal at the 32nd minute and Amad Diallo equalised the Reds at the 60th minute. But late disappointment for Manchester United resulted from Brighton's João Pedro's winning goal in the 90+5th minute.

Next week Chelsea will face Crystal Palace and Manchester United will take on Liverpool on Sunday, September 1, 2024.
