FootballNeal Maupay Makes Fun of Robert Sanchez After Chelsea Goalkeeper Has Nightmare vs Brentford
- Neal Maupay aimed a swipe at Chelsea's goalkeeper Robert Sanchez
- Maupay played an integral part in Brentford's 2-0 win over the Blues on October 28
- The two players were teammates at Brighton and Hove Albion
Brentford striker Neal Maupay took a brutal swipe at Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez minutes after helping his side record a historic 2-0 win on October 28.
The Bees became the first side to win their first-ever three consecutive Premier League meetings at Stamford Bridge to halt Mauricio Pochettino's recent steady run of form.
Ethan Pinnock opened the scoring in the 58th minute before Bryan Mbeumo added a second one in stoppage time to condemn the Blues to a fourth defeat of the season in just 10 games.
It is the second goal that possibly provided fodder for Maupay, who was a second-half introduction for Thomas Frank's charges.
Chelsea had sent everyone upfront, including Sanchez, in search of an equaliser when the ball fell to Maupay. The former Everton man led the counter-attack, held off Sanchez, who was sprinting back, before squaring the ball to Mbeumo, who rolled it in in an empty net.
Maupay's diss on Sanchez
Maupay and Sanchez played together at Brighton, with the two exchanging jerseys after the game. Maupay then shared a photo of himself wearing the jersey and uploaded it to his Instagram story, captioning it;
"Mood!"
It was another tough outing for Sanchez, whose mistake last week offered Arsenal a route back into the game.
The loss saw Brentford supplant Chelsea from 10th in the Premier League standings.
