Chelsea fans’ worst nightmare comes true as Anthony Taylor returns to officiate crucial Blues tie

Referee Anthony Taylor has been reinstated into his role as a Premier League official after one match in the Championship, with Chelsea fans mourning the official’s impending return to the top division.

Chelsea fans have an openly cold relationship with Taylor after several controversial decisions that the referee made against the Blues, especially in big matches.

Blues’ supporters celebrated when Taylor was temporarily demoted to officiate in the Championship and hoped that their nightmare was finally over; however, the referee has returned to the Premier League after only one week in the lower rungs.

To make matters worse for Chelsea fans, Taylor’s first match on his return to the Premier League will be the Blues’ crucial fixture against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

Taylor’s week in the Championship was not without drama, as the referee was accused of making a bizarre penalty call during a match between Preston North End and Coventry.

The error was pounced upon by fans who noted that Taylor had not improved his controversial refereeing style and hoped that he would remain in the lower divisions.

Fans have been critical of the decision to bring Taylor back to the league, asking why he is being allowed to referee a high-profile match so soon after recent mistakes.

Despite the outcry, Taylor will referee the match at Stamford Bridge while Chelsea fans hold their collective breaths, hoping for a drama free match.
