Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Chelsea FC gets underway.
  • 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Chelsea FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 8' Brilliant from the defender! Macaulay Gillesphey makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 8.
  • 13' Chelsea FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Plymouth Argyle FC's shape.
  • 18' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 19' That is a Yellow card for Chelsea FC. Jorginho will be fuming at that decision.
  • 20' Chelsea FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 20.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

  • 46' Chelsea FC make a change. Andreas Christensen trudges off to be replaced by Marcos Alonso on 46 minutes.
  • 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
