Premier League: Chelsea s defense instantly collapsed and sparked outrage

2:07pm, 27 October 2025【Football】

On the evening of October 25, in a match in the 9th round of the Premier League, Chelsea was reversed 1-2 by Sunderland at Stamford Bridge at home. One of the defensive performances was shocking and became the focus of the audience.

Two Chelsea players watched helplessly as their opponents calmly controlled the ball.

What made fans most angry about this game was not the defeat itself, but the fact that the Blues handed over the victory with their own hands with an incredibly lax defense in stoppage time.

The game reached the 90th+3rd minute, when the score was still 1-1. Sunderland forward Brobbie received a pass in the Chelsea penalty area, and then, surrounded by two Blues defenders, calmly turned and controlled the ball for about 5 seconds. What is shocking is that Tosin Adarabioyo and Trevor Chalobah neither stepped forward to press, nor assisted each other in defense, nor did they even make any physical confrontation or interception.

They just stood there, watching Brobby calmly observe the movement of his teammates, and then passed the ball back to the midfield. Sunderland player Talby stepped in at high speed and broke the goal guarded by Robert Sanchez with a powerful shot.

This moment of "collective absence" plunged the Stamford Bridge stadium into deathly silence. Talbi celebrated excitedly, while the Chelsea generals were stunned. "Brobbie held the ball for 5 to 6 seconds, but Tosin just stood there. What was he thinking?" the well-known fan account "The Touch Line" commented bitterly.

This 1-2 defeat dropped Chelsea to seventh place in the standings, while Sunderland continued to be the biggest dark horse this season, chasing Arsenal with 17 points, only 2 points behind the top spot. This once again proves that Chelsea's failure stems from themselves - personal mistakes ruined the team's efforts.

At the same time, Garnacho opened the scoring for the team early and celebrated passionately by imitating Ronaldo's classic celebrations. However, when he was substituted in the 58th minute, the team's defense completely collapsed. His goals and celebrations became meaningless as a result, and his "naive" positioning in defense further exacerbated the chaos and disaster in the defense.
