Alan Shearer slams Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for Leeds Premier League 'howler'

Alan Shearer has been highly critical of Edouard Mendy for Chelsea's howler' as the Blues failed to earn back-to-back wins at Elland Road in the Premier League against Leeds United.

Jesse Marsch's side were a team inspired on the pitch and that was reflected in the red hot atmosphere the Leeds fans created for their side. A quick flurry of goals midway through the first half settled the game as Jack Harrison eventually added the icing on the cake in the second period.

For the first goal, the usually reliable Mendy dithered on the ball way too long and allowed Brendan Aaronson a simple tap-in. A moment that got some Chelsea fans thinking that Kepa Arrizabalaga should be brought back into the equation. His football.london player rating read: 'Having had a confident opening 30 minutes, Chelsea's goalkeeper kept hold of the ball too long near Brendan Aaronson, and a poor touch saw the American nip in for an easy finish. Could not be faulted for the following goals but the first set the tone for the afternoon. 5.'
