Chelsea’s penalty shout goes unnoticed — Tyrick Mitchell might’ve got away with it
Chelsea supporters on social media have been vocal about their belief that the team, nicknamed the Blues, deserved to be awarded a penalty during their match against Crystal Palace. This debate stems from a controversial moment involving Tyrick Mitchell, who made a seemingly reckless challenge on Pedro Neto.
The contentious incident occurred during the second half of the match, at a time when Chelsea held a slim 1-0 lead. As Mitchell lunged into the tackle, it appeared he may have made slight contact with the ball. However, what remains undeniable is the forceful nature of his challenge, which resulted in significant contact with Neto.
In comparison to other recent penalty decisions, Chelsea’s appeal seems far more justified than the situation involving Ipswich last weekend. In that instance, Chelsea were penalized for an apparent dive by Liam Delap, a decision that sparked its own share of controversy.
