Jadon Sancho in action for Chelsea.
Jadon Sancho posted on Instagram after Chelsea moved to within two points in the Premier League title race.
Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho posted a wordless message on social media after Chelsea continued their formidable run in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old featured as Enzo Maresca's side moved to within two points of Premier League leaders Liverpool after a weekend of twists in the title race. United played a key role in one of the turns this weekend after a late comeback piled the misery on rivals Manchester City with the reigning champions falling further off the pace.
Sancho, who joined on an initial temporary basis, has enjoyed a sustained spell in the first-team with his appearance in the 2-1 over Brentford a fourth start in his last five appearances.

In the aftermath of the triumph, Sancho shared a post from teammate and former City youth product Cole Palmer. The 22-year-old posted: "1%," with a fingers crossed and red heart emoji - with the United loanee replying with the same emoticon.
The Manchester Evening News understands that Chelsea have an obligation to buy the England winger if they finish 14th or higher in the Premier League. Sunday's triumph over their city rivals opened up a 16-point gap to 14th-placed West Ham with United said to pocket a fee in the region of £20million and £25million.
Sancho recently expressed his delight after his start to life at Stamford Bridge and admitted he feels supported in West London. He said: "We’re all kind of leaders, because we all have different attributes to help each other, but the leading voice is definitely the manager. The manager is the voice of the whole team and whatever he says goes. We all buy into that.
"He understands us and always gives us advice about what to do in our position and how to help each other out. All the players trust him and believe in him.
"It’s always nice to feel supported, but he’s played the game as well so has a lot to offer and give advice on, about what to do and not do."
