Chelsea’s Axel Disasi scores a Ridiculous own goal in the club’s FA Cup clash with Leicester City, Chelsea fans are probably fortunate to miss it ❌👀
During the recent FA Cup quarterfinal showdown between Chelsea and Leicester, a dramatic turn of events unfolded under the watchful eyes of BBC’s live coverage.
In a twist of fate, Axel Disasi’s unfortunate own goal breathed new life into the Foxes, as the ball found its way into the net while the broadcaster was engrossed in showcasing a replay.
The first half saw Chelsea dominating with goals from Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer, granting them a comfortable 2-0 lead and apparent control of the match. With an early lead secured, Chelsea seemed poised for a smooth second half.
However, commentator Martin Keown couldn’t help but express his disbelief, labeling Disasi’s pass back to the goalkeeper as “completely absurd.” Keown’s critique of Disasi’s decision-making highlighted the ease of the pass and the goalkeeper’s distance from the intended target, questioning the Frenchman’s actions on the field.
In a display of camaraderie, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez rushed to comfort Disasi, a gesture that prompted Keown to reflect on the lack of similar support he might have received from former teammate David Seaman. Sanchez humorously remarked that had he committed a similar blunder, Seaman might not have been as forgiving.
Sanchez’s positioning during Disasi’s own goal left him vulnerable and undoubtedly dented his confidence. Former Chelsea striker Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink didn’t mince words during halftime, criticizing Sanchez for appearing “unnerved” and attributing it to his lack of regular playtime.
Leicester seized the momentum shift, capitalizing on Chelsea’s momentary setback. Stephy Mavididi, a product of Arsenal’s youth program, emerged as the hero, curling a precise right-footed shot into the far corner, further tilting the scales in Leicester’s favor.
