'Mendy been watching Cech a little too closely in training': Twitter goes wild after Chelsea goalkeeper nearly scores a horrendous own goal against Manchester United... mirroring club legend's 2018 meltdown for Arsenal

Chelsea can't seem to catch a break from goalkeeping drama, with even summer signing Edouard Mendy keeping Blues fans on the edge of their seats.

Frank Lampard confirmed Mendy has replaced west London flop Kepa Arrizabalaga as his new No 1 keeper after a £22m move from Rennes, and started against Manchester United on Saturday.

He almost made Lampard regret that decision 29 minutes into the Old Trafford clash, going horrendously close to scoring an own-goal.
