Robert Sanchez addresses mistakes after Chelsea’s win over Brighton

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez reflects on his errors in a 4-2 victory over Brighton

Chelsea extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League with a 4-2 win against Brighton & Hove Albion, but goalkeeper Robert Sanchez came under scrutiny for mistakes that led to both of Brighton’s goals. Brighton’s Georginio Rutter opened the scoring after Sanchez rushed off his line, leaving space for Rutter to capitalize on the error. The Seagulls’ second goal came when Sanchez mistakenly passed the ball to Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, who raced through to score.

Despite these mistakes, Sanchez redeemed himself with several strong saves throughout the match, helping Chelsea maintain their lead. After the game, Sanchez took to Instagram to address his performance, stating, "Mistakes happen – we’re all human, except the legend Cole Palmer. Thank you fans…. This group can achieve big things together! One day I help, the next day they help me, this is how we grow as a team.”

Sanchez’s statistics for the match include four saves, four successful runouts, and a 71% passing accuracy. He also completed four out of 18 long balls and made one critical error leading to a goal. Despite the pressure, Sanchez remains trusted by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who is unlikely to drop him ahead of a busy schedule with European and domestic cup fixtures on the horizon.

Sanchez reassured fans that he’s in peak physical condition, saying he feels the fittest he has been in two years, which should benefit the team during this demanding period.
