“Credit in the bank” – Some Chelsea fans not blaming Kante for errors

Chelsea had the lead in this game and were a man up, but they’ve somehow conspired to let Arsenal equalise.

The Blues had a corner – that’s right, all the way down the other end against ten men – and Arsenal were still able to go the full length of the pitch and score. Against a team with an extra man.

It’s ridiculous really, and it was all a little fortunate for the Gunners as N’Golo Kante slipped in the middle of the pitch to allow them clear passage to goal.

Fans on social media reacted to some truly awful play at home from the Blues, and as you might imagine they weren’t happy. You can only blame Kante so much, but still, inevitably he’s the focal point of the shoddy play.

You can see a collection of the reaction here. As you will see, nobody is really blaming the Frenchman for his one error. As Dan Levene points out, he’s got plenty of “credit in the bank” from bailing out his teammates.
