5 KEY MOMENTS

- BY STEVE STAMMERS

Four minutes and Alexis Sanchez appears to handle a clearance. Not given. Linesman Gary Beswick flags Aaron Ramsey offside, but Sanchez keeps running, scores and referee Anthony Taylor gives the goal after consulting his colleague. Twenty minutes and another escape for Chelsea as a Danny Welbeck header looks goalbound, but the post comes to the rescue. And, as the rebound comes out, the ball hits Ramsey just two yards out and goes wide. booked – dives and is shown a second yellow card by referee Taylor. He can have no complaints at the decision.

Between the 76th and 79th minute. First Diego Costa equalises after his shot is deflected past goalkeeper David Ospina by a combinatio­n of Per Mertesacke­r and Rob Holding. Enter Olivier Giroud from the bench and it is from the Frenchman’s cross that Ramsey restores the lead.
