“After all these years” – Several fans praise former Blues starlet as he boosts Chelsea’s top-4 hopes

Twitter reacts as Dominic Solanke rekindles Champions League aspirations

If the top-four race is a Star Wars storyline, former Chelsea star Dominic Solanke is Luke Skywalker.

The lost prodigal son used the force to choke the life out of Leicester City’s Champions League qualification hopes in an emphatic 4-1 victory.

The loss on Saturday has taken Chelsea’s hopes of a top-four finish out of our hands. With Leicester capitulating, we now have our destiny in our hands. The Foxes, for now, hold the losers baton.

Having come through the Chelsea youth system, Solanke moved to Bournemouth in 2019 from Liverpool. He finally broke his Premier League duck for the Cherries on his 39th attempt.

It is ironic that the youngster’s biggest contribution to Chelsea came in a Bournemouth shirt. But it fits in perfectly with the topsy turvy race for the top four.

Hopefully, Ryan Bertrand and Oriol Romeu can do the same tonight against Manchester United.

A number of fans took to Twitter to praise the former youth product’s performance. We take a look at a few of them below.
