Rafa Benitez's Chelsea earned a point against Manchester City but he was subjected to remarkable abuse from his new supporters as his first game as manager ended in a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge.
A significant number of disaffected Chelsea fans chanted "fuck off Benitez, you're not welcome here" in the opening minutes as they made their feelings about Roberto Di Matteo's dismissal, and the decision to replace him with the former Liverpool manager, explicitly clear to Roman Abramovich.
Other Chelsea supporters held up 'Rafa Out' signs and chanted in support of his predecessor as the Spaniard endured one of the most hostile starts to a managerial reign in recent memory.
It was only marginally better on the pitch, as Chelsea struggled to create many noteworthy chances against City, with Fernando Torres a constant disappointment after his restoration to the starting XI in Benitez's first team selection.
The draw means City sit one point behind leaders Manchester United, with Chelsea a further four back. However.
