Chelsea reverted to their inconsistent form in the Premier League as they faced Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Despite briefly taking the lead, the Blues suffered a crushing 3-1 defeat. Goals from Josko Gvardiol, Erling Haaland, and Phil Foden sealed the win for the Cityzens, leaving Chelsea with much to ponder.
Here’s a look at the three worst performers for Chelsea in this disappointing match:
1. Levi Colwill
Levi Colwill had a night to forget in defense. The English center-back struggled to handle Manchester City’s relentless attacks and was often caught out of position. His defensive presence was minimal, and he missed a golden opportunity to score, adding to an underwhelming display.
2. Robert Sanchez
Robert Sanchez’s inconsistency was on full display in this match. The Spanish goalkeeper conceded three avoidable goals, failing to provide the stability Chelsea needed at the back. His lack of decisive saves left the Blues vulnerable, contributing heavily to the defeat.
3. Jadon Sancho
Before being substituted, Jadon Sancho delivered a lackluster performance. The winger failed to make an impact in Chelsea’s attack, with his dribbling and creativity completely absent. He struggled to exploit Manchester City’s defensive gaps, capping off one of his poorest outings for the club.
Chelsea will need significant improvements moving forward if they are to bounce back from this disheartening loss.
