John Terry expressed his disagreement with the penalty awarded against William Saliba for a handball as Chelsea lost a two-goal lead to Arsenal in a dramatic match at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
In a riveting football encounter that transpired at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea witnessed a heart-stopping turn of events against Arsenal. What initially appeared to be a comfortable two-goal lead for Mauricio Pochettino’s squad unraveled dramatically in the final 15 minutes, as they conceded two late goals to Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard.
The defining moment of the match arrived in the first half when Cole Palmer calmly slotted home a penalty. This decision, however, stirred controversy, with the referee attributing the penalty to William Saliba’s handball. The French defender found himself in a rather unfortunate situation as he inadvertently made contact with Mykhailo Mudryk’s header from close range while his focus was elsewhere.
Notably, former Chelsea legend , John Terry, took to the social media platform Twitter to express his disagreement with the referee’s judgment regarding the penalty awarded against Saliba.
Terry’s comments added another layer to the discussion surrounding a game that showcased the unpredictable nature of football, leaving fans and pundits alike buzzing with excitement.
Arsenal remain unbeaten in the league and sit in second position with 21 points same points with first position Manchester City, while Chelsea move up to 10th position in the league with 12 points.
