It’s safe to say that Ex-Premier League winger Shaun Wright-Phillips is not a big fan of Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma after his display during the defeat to Manchester City in the league earlier this month. French international Kurt Zouma has not regained his place in the Chelsea team after that Manchester City game to suggest that Shaun Wright-Phillips was right to call him out on his performance during the Premier League clash with the Citizens at Stamford Bridge. Since that Manchester City game, Chelsea have played two Premier League matches and Kurt Zouma has started both on the bench. Blues boss Frank Lampard has preferred German national team player Antonio Rudiger in his starting XI ahead of Kurt Zouma.
Shaun Wright-Phillips played for both Chelsea and Manchester City during his football career. The ex-Three Lions of England player won the Premier League and FA Cup titles during his time at Chelsea. Shaun Wright-Phillips talked about the league game between Chelsea and Manchester City while he was on Premier League TV as he accused Kurt Zouma and his Chelsea teammates of getting bullied by the Manchester City players in the first half. He cited an example where the little figure of Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden brushed off Kurt Zouma off the ball easily in the first half which saw Chelsea concede three goals without any reply.
Manchester City produced their best display of the present Premier League season during that game. The likes of IlkayGundogan, Phil Foden and Ex-Chelsea star Kevin De Bruyne punished the Blues with goals to secure a third successive league win on the bounce for the Citizens. Callum Hudson-Odoi scored in added time to take the scoreline to 3-1 after coming on as a substitute. Manchester City have since increased their winning run to five successive league games with the recent wins over Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace. They are the first team to win five straight games in the league this season.
