Robert Sanchez has spoken out for the first time since he was sent off for a kamikaze challenge in Chelsea's loss to Manchester United.
The Spaniard had played just five minutes at Old Trafford when referee Peter Bankes gave him his marching orders.
He left the official with little choice in truth after flying out of his goal and bringing down Bryan Mbuemo, who was bearing down on an open net.
The sending off led to a chaotic first-half, with Enzo Maresca making three early changes and the Blues ultimately finding themselves 2-0 down at the break despite Casemiro levelling the playing field.
