Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez had a horrible game as Chelsea defeated Brighton 4-2.

Robert Sanchez made two terrible mistakes that led to goals, with the first coming just after seven minutes.

Pundit and former Blue Jason Cundy has told Robert Sanchez that he has Cole Palmer to thank, as Chelsea went on to win the game 4-2 despite the errors made by Sanchez.

“Do you know what? Again, goalkeepers being asked to play the ball at the back,” Cundy said on talkSPORT.

“He makes two ricks, two goals. That’s what happens when goalkeepers give the ball away.

“He gives them the first one. He’s come out looking like Superman. A challenge he can’t win.

“The second one, giving the ball away into the box. We were cruising at stage 3-1. Brings it back to 3-2.

“Obviously, it’s like, where’s Cole Palmer? We need another goal. Give us another goal, Cole. And he does.

“Yeah, Sanchez… the selection of pass, choice of pass, make the right decision.”
