Chelsea had an enjoyable afternoon as they convincingly defeated Stoke City 4-0 at the Bet365 Stadium, but there was a moment of frustration for the fans.

Antonio Conte's side were cruising as the match drew to a close, but the supporters have argued that their team should have reached the full-time whistle playing against 10 men.

In the dying moments of the Premier League encounter, Stoke striker Peter Crouch lunged in high and late on Cesc Fabregas, but he was only issued with a yellow card.

Many Chelsea fans vented their fury on Twitter, criticising Mike Dean for not giving the forward his marching orders.

Some even feel that there is a conspiracy against the West London club, suggesting that if a Chelsea player had committed the offence, a red card would have been brandished.

A matter of days after Diego Costa agreed a move to Atletico Madrid, striker Alvaro Morata scored his first hat-trick for the Blues, while Pedro also got on the scoresheet.

Conte's side are flying high in the league since their opening 3-2 defeat to Burnley having won four and drawn one.
