Former Manchester United player, Gary Neville has blamed Marcos Alonso for the 3-2 loss suffered by Chelsea against West Ham in the English Premier League.

Chelsea took the lead with a penalty taken by Willian before the Hammers struck back with two goals.

The lead by the Hammers was ended by Willian with a brilliant free-kick.

However, West Ham won the day with all three points after scoring a late goal from a counter attack.

Speaking after the game, Neville blamed Alonso for his role in the loss.

“Look at him, look at him, look at him. What are you doing, Marcos Alonso? What are you doing? That’s his running back speed.

“It’s cost Chelsea the game, along with a poor piece of defending from [Antonio] Rudiger.

“Marcos Alonso is level with [Andriy] Yarmolenko when the counter-attack starts and he doesn’t bother.

“Run back as fast as you can when you lose the ball, you learn that at the age of six,” Neville said.
