The Premier League shock quickly turned into a nightmare for Chelsea this Saturday. After a long recovery from Bayindir, Sesko won her air duel against Chalobah, paving the lane launched in full axis. Robert Sánchez, out of his surface to intervene, completely missed his gesture and mowed the Cameroonian striker, who went to the goal. The referee did not hesitate a second: direct red card for the Blues goalkeeper, guilty of such a coarse and expensive error.

Immediate consequence, the young Estevão had to give way in the 5th minute of play in order to allow Jorgensen to enter the London cage. A cruel, but inevitable decision for Enzo Maresca, forced to reorganize his team from the start. Reduced to ten so early in the meeting, the Blues see their plans collapse prematurely in what was to be one of the big events of the Premier League weekend.
