Ian Wright Blames Sanchez, Nkunku for Chelsea's Arsenal Loss

Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, with Mikel Merino's header proving decisive in the London derby. Ian Wright criticized both goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and forward Christopher Nkunku for their roles in the goal; Sanchez was deemed out of position, while Nkunku failed to track Merino's run effectively. Wright expressed that Sanchez's decision to engage with an Arsenal player was a poor goalkeeping choice, and he emphasized that Nkunku's lack of attention to detail cost Chelsea the match. Additionally, the absence of key players like Cole Palmer left Chelsea looking flat in attack, contributing to their overall disappointing performance. The criticism of Sanchez and Nkunku reflects a growing concern among fans regarding Chelsea's defensive setup and goalkeeping situation. Reports suggest that Chelsea may pursue a new goalkeeper to address these issues moving forward.
