Twitter frenzied after Chelsea takes lead vs. United in 30 seconds
Chelsea didn't waste any time in making Jose Mourinho extremely uncomfortable on his return to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Marcos Alonso aired a rather innocuous ball forward from the left, but a combination of Chris Smalling's poor delegating, Daley Blind making no decisions whatsoever, and David De Gea doing his best Claudio Bravo impression meant Manchester United was down early.
Very early, in fact: 30 seconds in.
Here's how Twitter reacted to Chelsea snatching an early lead at the expense of its former self-anointed "Special One":
What a start for Chelsea. Jose hadn't even had time to start the engine of the bus.

Appalling from Smalling. He has got to put his foot through that and clear it. Blind's lack of pace immediately exposed.

Chris Smalling shouting and pointing while not actually playing well, might be the most English thing he's ever done

Jose's face seems to be jammed on 'slapped arse' setting these days.

Shocking defending from Daley Blind and Chris Smalling. 'Here, have a free shot on goal.' #CHEMUN

Seeing the replay again, if Smalling stands still the ball would hit him. Runs backwards for some reason
