Already in the 5th minute of the match was removed from the field of the goalkeeper “Chelsea” Robert Sanchez.
Sanchez became the first goalkeeper “Chelsea”, since April 2016 (Tibo Kurtua v. Manchester City), who received a red card in the APL match.
The seizure of Sanchez has become the fastest in Chelsea’s history in the matches of the APL, as well as the third fastest among the goalkeeper in the history of the Premier League.
In total, Robert spent 53 duels in the English Championship, 16 times he played “zero” and missed 62 goals.
Robert Sanchez is the First Chelsea Gk to be Sent Off in A Premier League Game Since Thibaut Courtois Against Man City in April 2016. 🟥 https://t.co/12eiybwh7d
