Chelsea suffer injury blow

Chelsea’s injury crisis shows no sign of letting up after vice-captain Ben Chilwell suffered a hamstring injury during their win over Brighton.

The Blues skipper on the night, thanks to Reece James being missing through injury, was forced off in the final minute of seven added on.

Chelsea finished the game with ten men having used all their substitutions and Mauricio Pochettino confirmed afterwards that Chilwell, who suffered two separate hamstring injuries last season, had sustained an injury.

He said: “Is Chilwell injured? Yes.

“We need to assess it tomorrow but I think it is hamstring.”

Chelsea and Brighton fans fume at no VAR

Chelsea and Brighton fans were both fuming after finding out there is no VAR in the Carabao Cup.

Both sets of fans were left feeling aggrieved over decisions made by referee Tom Brammall during the Blues’ 1-0 win.

First Brighton fans were left up in arms over a challenge by Lesley Ugochukwu, who made just his second Chelsea start.

The summer arrival made a reckless tackle on Carlos Baleba and caught the midfielder high on his leg.

However some Seagulls felt Ugochukwu would have received a stronger punishment if the officials had the assistance of VAR.

Ugochukwu was allowed to stay on the pitch and Chelsea took advantage shortly after half-time through Nicolas Jackson’s goal, which ended up being the winner.

Jackson also put the ball in the back of the net later in the second half – only for the lineman’s flag to rule it out.

However, replays appeared to show the striker was onside when played through by Cole Palmer, leading to frustration for Blues supporters.

Pep Guardiola reacts to Newcastle defeat

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Man City boss said: “We played an incredible game.

“They increased after the break and were more aggressive. They scored a goal.

“Last season we were out against Southampton and not there but tonight we were. Congratulations to Newcastle.

“They start to be more aggressive. Yeah, it was a tight game and the players who played played really good. It is football.

“The way we played in the first half and second half was amazing. But they played aggressive to win the game.

“I leave comfortable with how we played, no injuries and minutes for Mateo [Kovacic] and Jack [Grealish].”

More from Eddie Howe

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Newcastle boss said: “It was a game of two halves. First was tough and City played well. We didn’t but defended well as we didn’t have the ball.

“Probably had the one chance with Jacob Murphy. Second half we were excellent in most aspects, defensively and offensively. We attacked well and probably deserved to win in the end.

“There were tactical changes but the biggest thing was in belief. That is not a reflection on the lads we took off but the lads we brought on made a big difference. With the ball we were a better team completely.”

Jurgen Klopp reacts to Liverpool win

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, the Liverpool boss said: “It was not the best start, it was actually the opposite. We had big chances in the first half and couldn’t believe we didn’t score.

“Leicester are a good side and very well set up. Minute by minute we turned it around and it was a good performance. There were so many little stories.

“Dom [Szoboszlai] was a surprise with how fast he has fit in, it was pretty much from the first minute. Top-class player with a lot of quality. He never stops. He learns a lot from the game.”

Eddie Howe reacts to Newcastle win vs Man City

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, the Newcastle boss said: “First half we tried to rotate the squad and keep our players fresh.

“Second half we were better for sure, but when you bring on players like Anthony Gordon and Bruno, they’re high level players.

“We needed to be better [in the second half], we were a little bit stuck in possession. They pressed us really well. The reason we won the game was because we didn’t concede in that first period.”
