"Beautiful, that's how it should be, knock down the bus."
"It's good to be the first to score, but can you keep it?"
…
Bentekeke's goal instantly boosted the morale of the Villa players, who began to attack Chelsea's half frequently.

"Although Guzan's number is 22, he was originally the main goalkeeper."

"Whoa." Chelsea fans erupted in applause from the stands.
Just when fans thought it was over, Villa's players crowded around referee Lee Mason.
It turned out that Cahill touched the ball with his arm when he blocked Baker's header.
It was supposed to be handball in the box.
However, the referee ignored the Villa player's complaints, arguing that Cahill's hands did not leave his body and therefore did not count as handball.

"What did the referee do? One goal behind, one less, the bus is finished. ”

José, on the other hand, sat quietly in the locker room, and for some reason, he always had a feeling of unease.
