A joyful Stamford Bridge faithful mocked Anthony Taylor and referee Paul Tierney after a 10-man Chelsea edged past Leicester City in the Premier League.
The referee, on the whole, wasn't the main talking point for once during a Chelsea fixture. This has come at a good time, especially considering the Taylor and Mike Dean controversy that unfolded during game week 2 in the London derby against Tottenham. Referee Tierney did have to send off Conor Gallagher though. A decision that was accepted on the whole by the nervy Stamford Bridge fanbase, who at one point probably thought the Leeds hangover would continue after 30 minutes in.
That included manager Thomas Tuchel who was serving his one-match ban after the FA punished him under code E3 for his comments against the aforementioned refereeing duo. Even the German had no complaints about the red card moment as he shifted responsibility fully to the player in question.
