The Blues failed to respond after their defeat to PSG, as they slipped to a 1-0 loss, with Anthony Gordon scoring the only goal of the game.

It was a huge blow for Chelsea in their hopes of securing a top five finish, and it was quite frankly an awful showing with Liam Rosenior’s side booed off.

Jamie Redknapp not impressed with Wesley Fofana

Surprisingly Rosenior only made two changes to the side with Alejandro Garnacho coming in for the suspended Pedro Neto, and Robert Sanchez returning in goal.

It was the same backline which conceded five in midweek, and they were once again easily exposed as Tino Livramento played one simple ball through the middle of the pitch to Joe Willock.

Willock then played it across the goal for Gordon to tap home, but Fofana seemed to just give up when running back, something which Redknapp wasn’t impressed by.

“Look, he’s got a head start and yet, [Gordon] catches up three yards on him,” he told Sky Sports.

“You can talk all you like about how the press was wrong, no. That, my friend, is wrong. Sprint.

“He doesn’t, because he doesn’t believe he’s going to pass it to him. Then he has the audacity to put his arms out, I don’t know what he’s complaining about.

“If you run, you stop the goal.”
