Chelsea vs Liverpool
Chelsea are currently locked in Premier League action with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
After Manchester City saw off Arsenal on Saturday, both sides really needed to secure three points on Sunday to ensure they keep some sort of pace with the league leaders.
Chelsea, in particular, could not afford a loss on the day as it would have meant they went 11 points behind Man City with less than half of the season to play.
Unfortunately for Chelsea, they would fall behind early in the tie.
Christian Pulisic was gifted a chance to put the Blues in front early on after some smart pressing from Kai Havertz, but the American fluffed his lines.
Chalobah targeted
Moments after this chance, Trevoh Chalobah opted to, somewhat bizarrely, attempt to clear an incoming ball with his head despite using his feet seeming like the wisest option.
This would lead to Chalobah’s attempted clearance allowing Sadio Mane to pick up the loose ball and round Edouard Mendy to make it 1-0.

This would be Chalobah’s second big mistake of the tie within 10 minutes, with the first resulting in Mendy saving a Mohamed Salah shot.
And, after his second error led to a goal, Chalobah has come in for heavy criticism online, with just some of the reaction shown below:
That was soo stupid chalobah
