Jamie Rednapp highlights key moment where it “all goes wrong” for Sanchez in red card build-up | OneFootball

Sky Sport pundit Jamie Redknapp has revealed the moment where he thinks it went wrong for Robert Sanchez at Old Trafford.

Chelsea slipped to their first Premier League defeat of the season as they lost 2-1 to Manchester United on a miserable afternoon at Old Trafford.

The Blues are still without a win at the famous ground since 2103, and have now slipped eight points behind leaders Liverpool after just five games.

Sanchez later apologised on Instagram, but it’s yet another costly error from the Spaniard, and will do little to change how the supporters view him.

The 27-year-old left Chelsea in big trouble, and Redknapp was very critical of Sanchez as he highlighted the moment it wrong for him.

“This is where it all goes wrong for the goalkeeper,” Redknapp explained on Sky Sports with the screen frozen at the moment Benjamin Sesko flicked the ball on.

“Robert Sanchez – where he’s stood now is where the impact is made.

“But the mistake he makes is indecisiveness. As that ball then gets flicked on he decides to go backwards which is the mistake, because if he stays where he is, he will probably come and clear it.

“He can be the first there. But he goes back and then too late, he decides to come out.

“And he makes a right hash of it, it’s a really bad piece of goalkeeping. No doubt it’s a red card.”

Chelsea have got problems in goal

The latest error from Sanchez once again brings into question the decision not to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer.

Chelsea had the opportunity to sign Mike Maigan, but refused to meet AC Milan’s asking price, which is looking like a poor decision.

Gianluigi Donnarumma was available, but Chelsea decided against signing the Italian, who joined Manchester City instead.

Chelsea will likely have to make do with their current options until next summer, where the situation simply has to be addressed.
