Mark Goldbridge ‘smashes up United Stand set’ after witnessing Man Utd collapse against Chelsea

Mark Goldbridge produced one of his most viewed in-game reactions ever on Thursday night as Manchester United suffered a dramatic collapse against Chelsea.

Goldbridge, real name Brent Di Cesare, was streaming a live watchalong of the Premier League clash on YouTube fan channel The United Stand to thousands of people at home.

The presenter, who has over 800,000 followers on X, was far from happy with the opening stages at Stamford Bridge as Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer gave Chelsea a two-goal lead with 20 minutes played.

It was a far-from-ideal start from Erik ten Hag's side but after goals from Alejandro Garnacho [2] and Bruno Fernandes made it 3-2, it looked like they would snatch all three points.

However, in one of the most dramatic endings in recent memory, Palmer completed his hat-trick with goals in the 100th and 101st minute – a sequence of events that angered Goldbridge.

In fact, as you can see in the footage below, a furious Goldbridge pushed his chair against the camera before giving his no-nonsense opinion on the late collapse.

"What is the point," he yelled. "That is the biggest injustice I've ever seen. I tell you what, Chelsea, I'm glad you're keeping [Mauricio] Pochettino because he's absolutely f*****g w***."

He added: "Absolutely incredible. Why did we go on the attack at 3-3?"

Here's how fans on social media reacted to the clip.

One said: "I nearly felt sorry for him until he said it was an injustice. It wasn't. Your players refuse to apply themselves properly time and again."

A second wrote: "He’s been through a lot with this team, my goodness," while a third said: "I almost feel bad, but I’m too busy laughing."

A fourth commented: "The pain in his voice. I’ve felt that pain before," and a fifth added: "This is what United does to people. Incredible, what a club."

Erik ten Hag delivered an honest assessment of the game after his side threw away a lead in the final stages.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the full-time whistle, he said: "Yes we started poor, kicking the ball away and defending poorly. But you saw we were dominating the game and it was brilliant how we played - we deserved to win the game.

"But, you cannot give it away like we did and we have to manage this game better. It is a team performance, you can point to one of the players but it is about team performance.

"When it gets chaotic you have to deal with it as a team and we made the wrong decisions and we didn't help out as a team. Out of possession, we made a bad decision - a lack of concentration.

"Also, I think (un) lucky at the end with the penalty situation, questionable and very soft but we have to do better."
