📸 Opening day of the Premier League and first howler for Robert Sánchez 🫠

On the opening day of the Premier League and in Robert Sánchez's first howler of the season, the former Real Madrid coaches Alvaro Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso faced off in a thrilling Matchday 1 clash. Fulham, led by Arbeloa, took on Chelsea, guided by Alonso. Robert Sánchez, Chelsea's Spanish goalkeeper, found himself in turmoil amidst the intense opening derby.

Chelsea's Spanish goalkeeper scored the opening goal just 30 seconds into the match, thanks to João Pedro. In response, Fulham equalized through their star player, Joshua King. However, Robert Sánchez's performance left much to be desired, as he was the subject of criticism from many Chelsea fans due to his several blunders this season. His positional error and handling mistake clearly led to the equalizing goal.
