Chelsea fans were quick to turn on Robert Sanchez after the Blues goalkeeper was involved in a calamitous attempt a shot-stopping as Arsenal claimed their second goal at Stamford Bridge.

Having endured a rocky time at Stamford Bridge since his move from Brighton, the Spaniard had been enjoying a stronger period between the sticks this season.

Sanchez was even named PFA Players’ Player of the Month for November after keeping four clean sheets in six games across all competitions.

But the goalkeeper could rely on none of his recent strong form in the second-half of the first leg of Chelsea’s Carabao Cup semi-final against their London rivals, with Sanchez failing to stop a sliding pass from Ben White across the front of goal – that was quickly buried by Viktor Gyokeres.

Former Arsenal forward Alan Smith was the first to voice his surprise at the limpness of Sanchez’s attempt on commentary duty, noting that Sanchez ‘doesn’t come out of it favourably.’
