Overreactions aren’t necessary – but €16m Chelsea debutant looks solid in first 90

Social media is built to go wild for nothing events, and today was a great example.

Robert Sanchez was out of the team injury, meaning €16m summer signing Djordje Petrovic made his first start for Chelsea. Soon after the game, the internet was full of positive assessments of his performance. There were people out there saying that he was the future, rather than Sanchez.

Let’s face it, he barely had anything to do. He made one save in the second half and… that was it.

But he looked confident on the ball and wasn’t spooked as Sheffield United looked to pressure him at set pieces.

Sterner tests lie ahead – starting with Newcastle on Tuesday. But this was the perfect start to ease the youngster in to Premier League life. With Sanchez likely out for a few weeks, this is a brilliant chance for the Serbia international to make his mark on the squad.
