Chelsea’s social media team found themselves in the spotlight for their peculiar handling of their live tweeting during the club’s Premier League encounter with Arsenal on Tuesday, where they noticeably refrained from mentioning former player Kai Havertz’s name. Havertz, who made a high-profile move from Stamford Bridge to the Emirates Stadium last summer, returned to haunt his former club with two goals in Arsenal’s dominant 5-0 victory. Despite his significant impact on the game, Chelsea’s social media team opted to avoid acknowledging Havertz’s goals in their live tweets, simply referring to them as ‘goals to the Gunners.’ This decision raised eyebrows among fans and commentators, with many questioning the motivation behind such a move. While some speculated that it was a deliberate snub to their former player, others suggested it was an attempt to downplay the significance of Havertz’s contribution. Regardless of the reasoning, Chelsea’s social media strategy undoubtedly became a talking point in the wake of the match. Havertz’s goals proved decisive in Arsenal’s comprehensive victory, tightening their grip on the Premier League title race. The Gunners now hold a three-point advantage over second-placed Liverpool, with reigning champions Manchester City lurking four points behind. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s defeat, coupled with their failure to recognize Havertz’s goals, left a sour taste in the mouths of their supporters, who had hoped for a positive result and a more gracious acknowledgment of their former star’s performance.
