It was no different to the penalty against Liverpool’s Robertson

Kante has been different class second half.
We can’t find a spare man, hence knocking it around at the back.

His bursts past the first man have caused us lots of problems.

Disappointing second half but against a very good Chelsea team. Most of our possession this half has been in defence!

He didn’t need to go down. Var should have pulled it back anyway.

3-1

Completely bossed out of that this half.

Looked poor this half. 3 1 fair result really. Too many poor performances to keep up with Chelsea. Ah well into the next game, will always be games like this

3 - 1
Chelsea pick off our pass and break with speed, ball is squared and slid in from inside the 6 yard box.

Unlike James, who has a Kalvin build.
