Football fans laud Mikel against Crystal Palace
Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi seems to have found his mojo under the leadership of Guus Hiddink at the west London club.
At half time against Crystal Palace, the Nigerian international had set Twitter ablaze with his assured performance in midfield.
Here are some tweets in support of his performance.
We take the lead! Mikel started it, Cesc picked out Diego brilliantly who cutely squared for Oscar to tap in. 1-0 Chelsea! #CFCLive

A fan of John Obi Mikel, adds stability to our midfield. Wouldn't complain if him starting became a regular thing.

His performance however raised some eyebrows when he slid into Crystal Palace’s Ward and was not given a card.
Again consistency. Why no yellow for Mikel?

Not quite sure how Mikel doesn't get booked for that foul on Zaha. #cpfc

Mikel slides in on Ward. Free-kick. No booking? Doesn't make sense. #cpfc

That is a booking for Mikel.. Again the consistency is something that refs aren't trained in👎🏼🔴🔵#cpfc

Excellent from Mikel, not sure how the second one is a foul.
