Chelsea suffered an FA Cup fourth-round scare on Saturday when they had to come from behind and needed extra time and a penalty save to beat League One Plymouth Argyle 2-1 with goals from Spaniards Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. Plymouth shocked the Premier League side when defender Macaulay Gillesphey nodded the ball home from a free kick by former Chelsea player Jordan Houghton in the eighth minute, sparking wild celebration and a shower of green balloons from the travelling fans. Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel had tested positive for COVID-19 and missed the game. It was not clear whether he would be free to travel to Abu Dhabi next week for the Club World Cup.
Chelsea fans have unanimously blamed club record signing Romelu Lukaku for his involvement in Plymouth's first half goal in the FA Cup fourth round tie.
Plymouth's Ryan Hardie missed a penalty late in extra time as Chelsea survived a huge scare to beat the League One side in the FA Cup fourth round.
Tan solo 2 goles encajados, 14 paradas y 3 victorias en sus últimos 5 partidos con el Chelsea. Y es que, tras varios meses eclipsado por Édouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga está volviendo a ser el portero por el que el Chelsea pagó 80M de euros. O al menos, una competencia interna real para el portero senegalés. No obstante, tal y como apunta el ex portero de los Blues Rob Green, «la recuperación de la confianza de Kepa ha sido un proceso lento», el cual ha tenido que ser «gestionado y comprendido cuidadosamente». Édouard Mendy se convirtió desde su llegada, y la de Thomas Tuchel, en el dueño y señor de la portería del Chelsea. Ahora, con el ex portero del Stade Rennais disputando la Copa de África con Senegal, el arquero español ha tenido que hacer las veces de su homólogo franco-senegalés, y los Blues han visto cómo, tras un largo periodo apartado de los focos, Kepa ha respondido a la llamada de su equipo.
January wasn't an easy month for Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel's side faced Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, while also taking on Spurs over two legs in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
