Viewers express anger as Chelsea’s Disasi scores bizarre own goal, unnoticed by BBC cameras during replays

Chelsea’s FA Cup quarter-final clash against Leicester City took a dramatic turn when Chelsea defender Axel Disasi scored a freak own goal, sparking fury among fans as the BBC cameras missed the crucial moment.

The incident occurred as Chelsea led 2-0, with Disasi inadvertently firing the ball into his own net while attempting to pass it back to his keeper, Robert Sanchez. However, as the cameras were showing replays of a missed opportunity, they failed to capture Disasi’s blunder, leading to confusion among viewers.

This mishap reignited the debate over broadcasters’ insistence on showing replays during live action, with many fans taking to social media to express their frustration.

Chelsea had initially taken the lead through Marc Cucurella, who capitalized on a swift counterattack. Despite Raheem Sterling missing a penalty for Chelsea, Cole Palmer managed to extend their lead just before halftime.

However, Disasi’s own goal gave Leicester a lifeline, and Stephy Mavididi further capitalized on Chelsea’s defensive lapse, drawing the scores level.

The game ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, with Leicester progressing to the semi-finals of the FA Cup on penalties.
