This is more important to Arsenal, and that's how they've played today outside of the first 15 minutes or so. They've been better all over the pitch on the whole.
Kovacic second yellow and this match is going nuts. Rudiger follows up with a petulant yellow, and Arteta for some reason.
What a terrible way to end a decent season for Chelsea. And they still have to get shredded by Bayern for 90min next week.
Gotta love our NT’s best player basically being made out of paper mache and hopes btw. What awful luck.
Where’s the reply on the keeper catching the ball at the top of his box? Live action seemed to show he was outside of his box. But I assume VAR looked and the ball wasn’t outside completely.
VAR doesn't rule on this unless it's clear GSCO, and a red card. This was judged to not be that. Also doesn't rule on 2nd yellows. Ref didn't have a good day...
That was as bad a look from a person suffering a hamstring injury as I've seen. I can't imagine that's one he's coming back from prior to the start of next season. Sucks for the kid. I would have to say that he certainly seems like he has some propensity to muscular/soft-tissue injury. This is going to be a problem for him off and on going forward. You don't have one after another and then just magically stop having them.
I feel like if it were really bad maybe he wouldn't have come back and been standing watching the conclusion of the game from the tunnel. So, seeing that after he did put some weight on it being helped off has made me feel better, but who knows... I am not a doctor. We'll just have to see how bad or how not too bad it ends up being.
Why would it not be a possible goal scoring opportunity? Keeper was the last defender. If he doesn’t touch the ball with his hands it goes past him. Seems to have been worth at least a rebuew.
