Chelsea endured a difficult first half after two key players found themselves at the center of unwanted drama. Trevoh Chalobah was unfortunate to put the ball into his own net, gifting the opposition an early advantage and leaving his side chasing the game from the start.
To make matters worse, Moises Caicedo compounded the team’s problems by conceding a penalty with a poorly timed challenge inside the box. The mistake handed the opponents another golden opportunity, putting Chelsea under immense pressure before the break.
For the Blues, these errors highlight the fine margins that can decide big matches. While both Chalobah and Caicedo are usually dependable, their slip-ups in such a short span of time left fans frustrated and the team struggling to regain momentum heading into the second half.
