They\u2019re now two goals down after 15.<\/p>\n<p>The mistake for the first goal was collective \u2013 multiple players let their man run, each of them expected someone else to the defending for them. We\u2019ve seen plenty of that from this group of players. There\u2019s no leadership, on or off the field.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea compound team mistake with individual error<\/h2>\n<p>This second was a pure individual mistake. Malo Gusto made the utterly crazy decision to pull Taiyo Awoniyi\u2019s shirt, the VAR spotted and called the ref over. After a couple of viewings, he gave the spot kick. Igor Jesus stepped up and smashed it down the middle to double his side\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s completely braindead, totally inexcusable. Unless something changes dramatically, the half time reaction at Stamford Bridge is going to be intensely negative when the whistle blows.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the penalty in the clip embedded here:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-lazy tweet-img lazyload\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Igor Jesus puts it away from the spot! \ud83c\udfaf <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yDgJii7u0e\">pic.twitter.com\/yDgJii7u0e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkySportsPL\/status\/2051306185136001095?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(Footage from Sky Sports)<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>The first goal was just as stupid. Chelsea left huge gaps in their defence meaning that Dilane Bakwa could pick out a cross and Taiwo Awoniyi could head home after just a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Mateus Fernandes is going to be a hot property this summer, and while Chelsea are in the mix, we\u2019re not sure they\u2019re favourites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
