NORWICH fans tore into Chelsea loanee Billy Gilmour after Crystal Palace battered their side 3-0.

Gilmour, 20, was subject to critical chants from the away end with a number of Canaries telling the midfielder to go back to Chelsea.

The Scotland international is currently on loan at Norwich from the Blues but has been poor in some fans' eyes.

Norwich were booed off at half-time in their clash against Palace with the Eagles leading 3-0 at the break.

And that was how the match ended just days after Norwich were thumped 5-0 at home to Arsenal.

Gilmour was singled out in the second half however with supporters telling him to 'f*** off back to Chelsea'.

The supporters have struggled to see what he brings to the team given he has made 12 Premier League appearances but contributed no goals and just one assist.

Defensively he has not been much better with Norwich conceding 29 goals in those matches - while Gilmour has made 30 tackles.

But Norwich fans will likely have to put up with the midfielder a little while longer as he has been a regular part of the side since Dean Smith arrived.

He is on loan until the end of the season and unless Norwich sign a new midfielder he will likely retain his place in the team.

There was talk of Gilmour being recalled earlier in the season due to his lack of game time but that has died down since Daniel Farke was sacked.
