These Chelsea fans claim Mendy could have saved Leicester goal as Kepa struggles to reach long shot

Leicester City beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final 1-0 thanks to a quite sensational hit from Youri Tielemans.

The Belgian found plenty of space on the edge of the box, with Jorginho nowhere to be seen, and he hit a crisp strike past Thiago Silva, who turned his body away.

It wasn’t just those two who got some blame though. The strike looked unsaveable at first, but there is a sense that Edu Mendy, with his extra height, would have got a hand to it.

And a quick glance on Twitter shows there are plenty of fans who felt the same way:

 

In the end there’s no point worrying too much about hypotheticals. But it’s another small black mark against Thomas Tuchel, who made a few selection errors today and paid the price in the end.

Win on Tuesday and everything is ok again. But lose and there will be serious concerns.
