BT Sport pundit Peter Crouch has criticised Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga following the position the Spaniard performed within the Blues’ 2-1 defeat to Fulham on Thursday evening.
Graham Potter’s facet are in horrible kind and the defeat within the West London derby leaves them sat in tenth within the Premier League desk. Nonetheless, final evening’s defeat might have been prevented if it was not for a mistake by the Chelsea shot-stopper.
Kepa was caught in no-man’s for the house facet’s successful purpose as Carlos Vinicius headed into an empty internet after an excellent cross from Andreas Pereira.
Relatively than coming all the best way out to say the ball or staying on his line to save lots of the header, the keeper hovered in between and was simply overwhelmed, which resulted in his staff shedding the match. This motion didn’t impress Peter Crouch who was vital of the goalkeeper after the match.
Talking on BT Sport after the match, Crouch stated about Kepa’s position in Vinicius’ purpose through the Every day Mail: ‘It’s a large error from Kepa. If he stays on his line it’s such a troublesome header [for Vinicius], however he’s given him an open purpose. Even when Kepa decides to return out, you’ve acquired to return all the best way.’
That is the second time in as many Premier League matches that Kepa has made a mistake resulting in a successful purpose. The Spaniard did not cope with a Jack Grealish cross in Chelsea’s match not too long ago with Man Metropolis and it resulted in a tap-in for Riyad Mahrez to make it 1-0.
Nothing appears to be going proper for Potter at current and it doesn’t assist when his goalkeeper is making avoidable errors.
