Michael Owen criticises Chelsea star for role in Andreas Christensen's red card

Michael Owen believes Kepa Arrizabalaga "confused" Andreas Christensen before the Chelsea defender was sent off for taking down Sadio Mane before half-time. Chelsea suffered a 2-0 defeat against the Reds on Sunday, September 20. Christensen was shown a straight red card following a VAR review after he was adjudged to have brought down Mane, who scored both of Liverpool's goals. "We hear a lot of the time about goalkeepers creating nervousness in their back four and I think that’s a perfect example,’ Owen told Premier League Productions. "He did it earlier on in the game when he ran out of his box for no apparent reason. When your goalkeeper is nervous it runs throughout your team. He shouldn’t be running 25 yards out of his goal." "I don’t think there’s any complaints about the red card decision," Owen said. "It took two attempts from the referee to get there but I think he got there in the end. "It was a great run from Sadio Mane to get across the face of Christensen but the goalkeeper comes out and confuses the situation for the big centre half. "He [Christensen] puts two arms around Sadio Mane, grabs him, wrestles him to the ground and it’s a definite sending off." source - Metro Join us on Telegram
