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.

Going in to injury time probably 3 or 4 minutes, still time.

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.
