Chelsea’s goal today came from Enzo Fernandez and there were some good performances through the whole team, but there’s no way the Blues would have won the game without their goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

The much maligned stopper did what he does best – saving shots and booting the ball long when under pressure.

After the game, his manager Calum McFarlane was full of praise for the Spaniard.

Robert Sanchez praised by his coach after strong showing

“Robert Sanchez’s saves were massive for us. We haven’t kept enough clean sheets recently, so I’m really pleased for the whole team, especially the back line and Rob to get that today,” McFarlane said to the Match of the Day cameras.

“That’s Rob Sanchez at his best. That’s what we expect from him. That’s what he’s capable of doing. He’s one of the best in the world in those moments, and thankfully for as he delivered today.”

Let’s hope he can keep up this good form – we’re going to need him at his best in the final against Man City, that’s for sure.
