Livid Chelsea fans have taken to social media to vent their fury at manager Maurizio Sarri after Manchester City spectacularly scored four first-half goals in the space of 19 minutes.
Raheem Sterling opened the scoring after four minutes at the Etihad before Sergio Aguero added a quick-fire brace before the 20-minute mark.
Chelsea's misery in the first half was compiled when Ilkay Gundogan beat goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from distance to send fans online into meltdown.
As the Italian sat helplessly in the away dugout, some Blues supporters insisted that he would be 'sacked in the morning' while others joked that he would lose his job before the second half started.
Others complimented City by saying that Pep Guardiola's men made Chelsea look like a Sunday league team.
The Blues did manage to hold on until half time without conceding a fifth as Sarri was left scratching his head on the sidelines.
The 60-year-old has seen his team drop out of the top four in recent weeks following the resurgence of Manchester United, which has left a lot of fans questioning his credentials.
The odds on Sarri being the next Premier League manager to be sacked have dramatically fallen to 7/2 after he was originally 14/1 to lose his job at kick-off, according to Betfair.
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone and club legend Frank Lampard are favourites to replace the Italian manager should he lose his job.
