Newcastle United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Emil Krafth against Chelsea at home.

Krafth was in action for Newcastle in their Premier League game against Chelsea at St. James’ Park on Saturday evening.

The 25-year-old right-back did not have a good game on a personal level, as the Sweden international struggled, especially defensively in the second half.

According to WhoScored, the defender had a pass accuracy of 66.7%, took 38 touches, made three tackles and three clearances, and put in three cross.

So far this season, Krafth has made six starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for Steve Bruce’s side, according to WhoScored.

The win against Chelsea means that the Magpies are 12th in the Premier League table at the moment with 29 points from 23 matches, seven points above the relegation zone.

Newcastle fans were not impressed with the display produced by Krafth against Chelsea, and have criticised him on Twitter.
