Sanchez makes amends for midweek mistakesRobert Sanchez makes a second mistake against Arsenal. It was just what the Spaniard needed after a dodgy midweek.
- He messed up twice against Arsenal and was a major factor in the 3-2 defeat there. New manager Liam Rosenior knows Sanchez well from their time together at Brighton, and he came out to defend his keeper in midweek.
- He will be delighted to see Sanchez make amends with a big performance today. He’s had a good season overall – let’s hope that Arsenal game proves to the be exception, and that his form returns to where it was in the last few months.

- It’s pretty damning of his alternate, Joao Pedro, that that’s the case. Chelsea have not been at their best today, but they look to have sealed a win with a penalty from Cole Palmer who made no mistake from the spot after Delap was brought down in the Brentford box.
- Let’s hope that’s the first step towards the attacking midfielder finding some form.
