(Video): Reece James gives away penalty goal after Tierney dive

Reece James has just given away a penalty after an opening period which Chelsea have dominated.

There was no need to make the challenge as he did, but it didn’t stop it being a very soft one – so soft we thought VAR might overturn it.

Hopefully we can play as we were in the first 20 minutes, but it’s a body blow for Chelsea after a bright start. Frank Lampard chose to play the injured full back tonight despite his bad knee, and it’s not a decision that’s paying off so far.

  1. Have u ever noticed that every team that is in a slump or f that is in crisis they start winning when they meet chelsea, even the weakest of all teams??
    why play james when he is not fit? the english factor and his dislike of cesar, rudiger and giroud.
    chelsea will not win any trophy under lampard. he is the weak link at chelsea.
    may the hierarchy release him just like what psg did with tuchel. the earlier they do it the better
