Carney Chukwuemeka praised his ‘big brother’ after the England forward endured a mixed afternoon.
CARNEY CHUKWUEMEKA praised “big brother” Raheem Sterling after the England forward endured a mixed afternoon during Chelsea’s FA Cup win over Leicester.
He received scorn from sections of the home support for taking the ball out of the hands of regular penalty taker Cole Palmer after winning a first-half spot-kick, which he subsequently saw saved by Leicester goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk. Match-winner Chukwuemeka, who netted his first Stamford Bridge goal to make it 3-2 two minutes into added time, made a robust defence of Sterling, citing him as a key influence amongst Chelsea’s young squad.
“For us youngsters, especially me, Noni and Cole, he’s helped us a lot since we came. He’s always on us, showing us what we can do better, what we can improve on, outside of football as well as in.It was just Chukwuemeka’s second goal for Chelsea since joining from Aston Villa in August 2022.His goal to effectively settle the tie against Leicester came after a sublime flick to set him up by Palmer, who was excellent again.
