Mendy's Save, Werner's Miss: How Chelsea Players Fared At Halftime Until Second Halftime

held Sevilla to a goalless draw as the visitors threatened on several occasions but was unable to grab a goal. Frank Lampard made 3 changes to the team that started against Southampton, as Edouard Mendy was recalled after shaking off a thigh injury. Thiago Silva also returned to the team while Reece James replaced Ceaser Azipilicueta on the right side of defence.


Ngolo Kante played very well as usual as he broke down every opposition attack with timely interception. Edouard Mendy however was the saviour as he made a fantastic save to keep the Blues in the game. A Sevilla shot was deflected by Kurt Zouma and heading towards the back of the net before a sharp reflex from the Senegalese ensured that he paried the ball out successfully. It was a sharp contrast to Kepa's performance against Southampton and justified Lampard's stance on signing the goalkeeper.





Jorginho and Mount as usual were the villain of the game as they both earned yellow cards respectively for committing a foul after losing the ball nonchalantly. The decision to keep playing these two still baffles me.
