Overview

• Enzo Maresca said he would have preferred Robert Sánchez to allow Bryan Mbeumo to score rather than commit the foul that led to an early dismissal.
• Sánchez’s sending-off leaves Chelsea without their first-choice goalkeeper for the next match due to suspension.
• Filip Jorgensen replaced Sánchez and his performance drew criticism from post-match reporting.
• Casemiro was also sent off before half-time after receiving two yellow cards.
• Cole Palmer was withdrawn early with groin discomfort, with Maresca confirming the forward was not fully fit after playing 90 minutes against Bayern Munich midweek.
