Let's hope for a better Albion v United Cup result next weekend.
More shocking goalkeeping from Earps.
At fault for the Brazil equaliser in the Finalissima. Another howler today.

Newcastle hopefully to take all 3 points.

Just the 2 then. Not a bad result for Chelsea considering everything.
Rightly or wrongly, they'll feel they have a chance, albeit a small one, in the 2nd leg at home next Tuesday.
Nice distraction for Saturday 3pm.
Commentator:
