Chelsea fans have proudly claimed that they have found "the chant we need" after a DJ decision at Selhurst Park backfired. The Blues came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace on Monday, thanks to a remarkable second-half comeback. However, the start of the second half was delayed due to technical issues with referee Michael Oliver's equipment. In an attempt to lighten the mood, the Palace DJ played Bob Marley's iconic song "Three Little Birds," which was enthusiastically sung by both sets of fans throughout the rest of the match.
The Delay and the Chant
Jefferson Lerma opened the scoring for Crystal Palace in the first half, and the score remained 1-0 until halftime. However, the start of the second half was delayed due to technical issues with the referee's equipment. Frustrated supporters began jeering and booing, but the atmosphere quickly changed when the Palace DJ played Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" over the PA system. The catchy chorus, "don't worry about a thing," resonated with fans and became the chant of the night.
Chelsea's Comeback
Despite the delay, Chelsea quickly turned the game around. Conor Gallagher equalized within two minutes of the restart, and the former Palace loanee went on to score the winning goal in additional time. Enzo Fernandez added a third goal to seal the victory. The fans' spirited rendition of Bob Marley's song added to the celebratory atmosphere and left many Chelsea supporters convinced that it should become an official anthem for the club.
Fans React
Chelsea fans took to social media to express their enthusiasm for the newly adopted chant. Many felt that the song perfectly captured their feelings after a season of disappointing performances. Some fans even suggested that the song should be played after every victory as a tradition. The passionate response from supporters shows the power of music in creating a sense of unity and joy among fans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Premier League governed by financial regulations?

How has the Premier League affected the English team?

Many of the players selected from the Premier League go on to play for the English team in international competitions, using their skills and knowledge. The competitive nature of leagues and their quality players is thought to benefit the English national team. The high number and quality of foreign players in the league has led to debates about how this affects English players’ opportunities to get regular first team football.
How has Premier League developed since its formation?

What happens to the Premier League teams that finish in the bottom half?
At the end of each Premier League season, the teams that finish in the bottom three positions of the league table are relegated to the Championship, which is the second tier of English football. The top two teams in the Championship along with the champion of the Championship playoffs are promoted into the Premier League the following season.
How is the Premier League winner determined?
The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. A team receives three points if they win, one for a draw and zero for losing. In the case of two teams having the same total of points for the entire season, the winner of the league is determined by goal differences and, if necessary, number of goals. If teams are still equal, a play-off at a neutral site may be used to determine the title. However, this scenario has not occurred in Premier League’s history.
