‘So silly’… Jody Morris slams one Chelsea star for his poor performance in 3-2 victory over Brighton
Chelsea second Captain Conor Gallagher will serve a one-game suspension after he was sent off in Chelsea’s win against Brighton on Sunday.
It was a joyous weekend for the Blues supporters, who watched their team record a narrow 3-2 home victory over Brighton in the Premier League.
The task was made a lot harder for Mauricio Pochettino’s side when Conor Gallagher received a red card on the stroke of half-time.
The 23-year-old midfielder, who had earlier been booked in the first-half, lunged in to earn his second yellow.
He’ll certainly owe his teammates a pat on the back for their efforts in the second period to hold on for maximum points. Speaking via Sky Sports in his post-match interview, Pochettino shared that at half-time he told his players they had 45 minutes to show they are a real team.
Jody Morris didn’t think Gallagher was that wise with his actions versus Brighton this afternoon.
“Conor Gallagher has picked up his second yellow. It’s a bit of a silly challenge from him,” Morris told Sky Sports News channel.
“You always want to keep his enthusiasm and aggressiveness on the pitch, but the fact that he’s already on a yellow card… Conor has gone to ground when he didn’t really have to. For me it is a second yellow. Poor decision from Conor to make that tackle.”
