Chelsea have had the better of the first 20 minutes against Newcastle, but they’re one goal down after a bad error from Benoit Badiashile.
The Blues lost the ball with sloppy play in midfield, right as they threatened the opposition box, allowing Newcastle to counter. The centre backs scrambled to stop Callum Wilson as he bore down on goal.
As much as we love Badiashile, this one was very much on him, and a case of being too clever by half. He got across brilliantly and had the chance to knock the ball clear, but decided to take a touch and try to turn in a risky situation.
