Chelsea, in the FA Cup semi-finals: unusual mistake by Disasi which almost excluded Pochettino and Enzo Fernández, absent

For the second consecutive round of FA Cup, The discount saved Chelsea. The “Blues” qualified for the semi-finals this Sunday after suffering an unusual comeback following a mistake Alex Disasiwhich caused both the coach Maurizio Pochettino like the world champion midfielder Enzo Fernandez -who didn’t play due to suspension- are keeping their heads. The London team beat Leicester by 4-2 to join coventry AND Manchester City in the decisive instance, the crosses of which will be drawn later.

The objectives of Carney Chukwemeka AND Noni Madueke In injury time they ended a crazy match in which Chelsea took a 2-0 lead, granting themselves the equalizer with a beautiful own goal. Alex Disasi and a great goal from Stephy Mavididi and in which Leicester were unable to maintain the result in the last twenty minutes because they played with one man less.

The ‘Blues’, who had practically won after a first half in which they scored two goals and missed a penalty, shot themselves in the foot in the second half, where a Disasi own goal pushed a Leicester team who equalized with an excellent result. goal from Mavididi and he was minutes away from winning gold at Stamfor Bridge.

Enzo Maresca’s men only fell to their knees in the 91st minute, when Cole Palmer, who had already scored a goal, left Chukwemeka alone with a backheel and took Chelsea to the semi-finals at Wembley.

Enzo Fernández had already taken off the Bizarrap music producer cap with which he watched the match from the stands after having received two yellow cards in previous matches of this tournament.

Despite having to wait until injury time, Chelsea thought they would decide the match in the first half. In the thirteenth minute, Nico Jackson tackled Vestergaard and sat the Dane down with excessive ease. The central defender offers no resistance and Jackson only finds Cucurella at the far post. Low and final pass without a goalkeeper for the Spaniard, who scored his first goal for Chelsea. The dedication went to Jackson, deservedly, because he had created the goal alone.

Enzo Maresca’s team was very timid and closed behind and only watched Robert Sánchez’s goal from a Patson Daka header that went wide. If promotion to the Premier League is confirmed (they have three points compared to third place), the ‘Foxes’ will have to invest in reinforcements to be able to compete in the top category.

And the score wouldn’t have started to rise any faster if it weren’t for Raheem Sterling. The Englishman missed a penalty that Issahaku Fatawu, the Bournemouth executioner, committed on Sterling himself, shot it free and central, and a few minutes later missed a one-on-one. He adapted so much in front of Jakub Stolarczyk that he couldn’t even find the goal.

Luckily for him, he quickly redeemed himself. In the first-half addition, Sterling picked up a loose ball from Gallagher, ran into the area and put in a low cross which Palmer, coming in from behind, converted to make it 2-0.

It was over, many would think, but just five minutes after the restart, Malo Gusto complicated Disasi with an excessively strong throw-in, which was unbalanced by a Leicester attacker and made the mistake of giving it away to Robert Sánchez. Instead of giving it to the Spaniard, he put it in his own goal. A great goal, yes, but in the wrong goal.

The goal left Chelsea perplexed, who received a second punch in the face when Arsenal youngster Mavididi turned Malo Gusto’s head with two bicycles and scored a great goal against Sánchez’s long post.

In ten minutes, Chelsea’s existence was complicated and they found themselves facing a repeat at their rival’s home ground.

To avoid this, Jackson did a Dennis Bergkamp-style dribble in the center of the pitch and faced the goal himself, until Doyle brought him down from behind. The referee gave a penalty and gave the Leicester player a yellow card, but VAR reviewed the action and ruled that he was outside the area, so Doyle went to the road and was awarded a foul in the half-moon of the area that Sterling sent to the clouds.

Stamford Bridge had enough of the Englishman and started booing him. When Mauricio Pochettino decided to change Mudryk and not him, they targeted the Argentine, who they also insulted and booed. When Sterling left in the final minutes, the cheers, many of them ironic, were joined by boos.

And as happened against Leeds United a few weeks ago, Chelsea left their homework until the last minute. Already in injury time, Chukwuemeka launched a one-two with Palmer and the ’10’ responded with a backheel, leaving him alone and able to end up under the legs of the Leicester goalkeeper.

The victory is now assured, and Madueke seals it with a great goal from outside the area at the last moment.
