Chelsea played a full time draw with Southampton at Stamford Bridge, the match was brought to penalty shoot outs and Chelsea once again won on penalties. Kepa Arrizabalaga was Chelsea’s hero in the penalty shoot out as he made brill saves to deny Southampton players from the spot.
Mason Mount was the only Chelsea player to miss from the penalty spot but Kepa Arrizabalaga made sure Mason Mount never regretted that. Thomas Tuchel side reached the next stage of the competition after they eased past Southampton on penalties. Here are the two mistakes Thomas Tuchel avoided as Chelsea won yesterday.
1. Starting Jorginho Ahead Of Saul NiguezSaul Niguez made another appearance for Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, this time the Spanish midfielder has an impressive performance. Thomas Tuchel made the right decision to start Saul Niguez ahead of Jorginho in yesterday’s match. Saul Niguez played a major role in the build up to the first goal, he had few chances of scoring but the goalkeeper was there to deny him. Hopefully, Saul Niguez gets back into his very best and impacts in the team.
2. Starting Marcos Alonso Ahead Of Ben ChilwellMarcos Alonso started ahead of Ben Chilwell in yesterday’s match, the Spaniard beat Ben Chilwell to the starting lineup after the Englishman has been Thomas Tuchel’s favourite right wing back week after week. Marcos Alonso played a major role in Chelsea’s opening goal as he made the goalkeeper concede a corner kick. It’s high time Marcos Alonso gets applauded for his impact in the team.
