"Where Was He Going?" – Former Chelsea Star Questions Player’s Decision After Close Call Against Leicester
Chelsea Secure Vital Three Points, but Robert Sanchez’s Error Raises Concerns Among Fans and Pundits.
Chelsea secured an important 1-0 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League, keeping their Champions League ambition alive. However, despite the win, one moment in the game left fans and pundits furious—especially one former Chelsea midfielder, who openly questioned the decision-making of a current Blues player.
The match was full of drama, including Cole Palmer missing a penalty opportunity, which many believed would have put Chelsea in the lead earlier. But despite the missed chance, Chelsea successfully claimed all three points. The manager was pleased with the victory, though he once again warned his players that anyone who ignores his passing tactics could find themselves subbed off immediately.
However, one of the most talked-about incidents was a mistake made by Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who went rushing out after misjudging a cross and missed the ball entirely, causing chaos in the box and Tosin Adarabioyo to head the ball onto his own crossbar. Fortunately for Chelsea, Leicester failed to capitalize on the error.
Following the match, a former Chelsea midfielder, who was reviewing the game on his podcast, expressed his frustration over Sanchez’s decision-making. He didn’t hold back when analyzing the goalkeeper’s misstep.
“There was a mistake from Sanchez again, which luckily didn’t end up in [a] goal, but what was he doing? I don’t get it. It was a cross that I think the central defenders can deal with, and he’s come out again. I don’t know where he was going,” the former Chelsea star stated.
His comments echo the concerns of many Chelsea fans, who have seen similar errors from Sanchez this season. While the goalkeeper has had some good performances, moments like these continue to raise doubts about his reliability in high-pressure situations.
With Chelsea fighting for a top-four finish, every point matters. Although they avoided injury this time, supporters will be hoping that their goalkeeper will play with more composure in future matches.
