'It's not a crisis' - Giroud insists Chelsea players support Conte after Man City defeat

The Blues striker insists that the squad are behind their manager, despite being completely dominated in Manchester

Olivier Giroud has denied that Chelsea are in crisis and is adamant the players are fully behind manager Antonio Conte following the 1-0 defeat at Manchester City.

Bernardo Silva's goal immediately after half-time settled the game at the Etihad Stadium, the Premier League leaders were in complete control and never looked in danger of dropping points.

Chelsea failed to have a shot on target, with Giroud and Alvaro Morata both starting on the bench, with the former Arsenal striker the first substitute to be used by Conte.
