An awful 30 minutes for Chelsea’s Tiemoue Bakayoko culminated in his sending off. But, in truth, it has been an awful six months for the France international.
His arrival last summer was was one of the reasons Chelsea let Nemanja Matic leave for Manchester United.
What a dreadful error of judgment that looks now. Even the fans turned against him at Watford as he went off after receiving his second yellow card on Monday night.
Bakayoko sheepishly applauded the travelling support as he left the pitch but even that could not appease some Chelsea fans who sarcastically waved him on his way down the tunnel.
