“I need him to be arrested as soon as possible,” “Such a liability player” – Chelsea fans wants 25-year-old star out of club after 2-2 draw against Arsenal
Chelsea fans slammed Robert Sanchez after his error enabled Arsenal to come back from two down to secure a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday
The Gunners came into the contest high on confidence after beating treble winners Manchester City 1-0 prior to the international break. But it was Chelsea who looked the better team in the opening stages.
Mykhailo Mudryk’s header in the 12th minute struck William Saliba’s arm in the box. Despite the referee initially refusing to give a penalty, VAR intervened a minute later following a break in play, giving the Blues a spot-kick.
Cole Palmer made no mistake from the spot, giving Chelsea the lead in the 15th minute. Palmer nearly doubled their advantage in the 29th minute, with the ball just trickling wide off the post.Mauricio Pochettino and Co.’s dominance paid off in the 48th minute. Mudryk mis-hit his cross from the left flank and found the back of the net from an acute angle, catching David Raya off balance at the near post.Despite Chelsea cruising to three important points, Robert Sanchez carelessly played a simple pass into the path of Declan Rice. The latter made no mistake from a distance, finding the back of the net in the 77th minute.
Arsenal used their newfound momentum to find an equalizer seven minutes later. Bukayo Saka crossed the ball into the box, finding Leandro Trossard who timed his run to perfection. The Belgium international got the better of Malo Gusto, finishing past a helpless Sanchez.
Chelsea fans blasted Sanchez for costing the Blues two points following the draw. The 25-year-old summer signing made just one save and made a massive error. He also had woeful distribution with an accurate long ball rate of 28 percent and a passing accuracy of 53 percent.One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“Hugely disappointing. Hugely. Were the better team, but Robert Sanchez let them back in. His brain farts are unacceptable.
Another fan wrote:
“We had 100% control and a single player let us down. Naaah I will NEVER back you Robert Sanchez, piss poor goalie.”
@CfcSheikh: 10/10 performance until Robert Sanchez turned into a clown.
Deserved to win that game but this guys arrogance cost us. Pochettino should bench him as punishment.

@CFCNewsReport: Robert Sanchez just ruined a good team efforts. What could have been a good win.
@CFCHorpe: Robert Sanchez cost us this game!That’s it!
@SheamusCFC: Robert Sanchez, this man has all the abilities, but his poor decision making is a huge problem to his game, he has opened the door for Arsenal today and can be known as one of the reasons we drew this game against Arsenal.
@ivan_i94: I need Robert Sanchez arrested as soon as this game ends
@sethaadusei: Robert Sanchez I’m done with you. Such a mediocre Keeper.
