Saint Albert

Austin forces a good save. Courtois might have handled outside the area afterwards. Hard to tell from the replay.

Slow and ultimately blunt buildup play by Saints. Commentators talking about all the runs Gabbiadini is making without getting noticed. Gabbiadini off for Austin

Austin warming up apparently.

Damn Stephens. Poor header right into the middle of a dangerous area.

Redmond ‘s first touch was thunderously poor there. Then he commits a foul trying to recover. Commentators talking about panic stricken Saints defending.

Hopefully the players show a bit of character in the second, and claw their way back into the game.

At one point the commentators on my feed reminded us of Saints’ 1-3 victory here under Koeman a couple of seasons ago. It made me a little sad.

FF has problems getting down to low shots. He should have saved the free kick.

****. Alonso with a free kick. 1-0.

Yoshi gets a yellow for a foul on Hazard.

Weak defending by Lemina in the penalty area. Pedro hits the post.

Chelsea looking dangerous on the break again. Bakayoko’s shot deflected for a corner, which Yoshi clears.

Hoj with a quietly competent game so far.

Good near post save by FF there.

Was that Bertrand who just blocked a certain goal for Willian? Bad mistake by Stephens.

Anyone notice if Black is on the bench?

FF saves a deflected shot.

Lemina almost releases Gabbiadini for a chance.

Lemina looks so good when he has the ball. Then he gets hacked down. No free kick. FF with a couple of decent saves but perhaps parries the second into a dangerous area.

Commentators describing confusion as to who is playing at right wing back. It’s JWP. Bertrand having a good moan at someone.

Good passing between Alonso and Willian leads to a good chance for Willian. Cedric to be replaced by Lemina, by the looks of it.

Cedric back on. Hoj does well to win a throw.

Cedric tackled into the boardings by Cahill. He might be hurt.

Chelsea aren’t pressing that aggressively when Saints have possession.

Stephens looking very confident and dare I say it classy. Then he gets mugged by Pedro on the break.
