Chelsea fans chant for Abramovich during Wolves thumping

Chelsea supporters sang the name of former owner Roman Abramovich at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Blues were embarrassed at home by Wolves in the Premier League, losing 4-2.

Amid booing the home players and joining in with a “you're s***" chant from the away fans, Chelsea supporters also remembered their ex-owner.

The club have spent nearly a billion on transfer fees and player wages, but have yet to progress beyond mid-table.
