Why Eberechi Eze’s Brilliant Free Kick Against Chelsea Was Ruled Out, Premier League Explains
Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze's brilliant free-kick against Chelsea was ruled out during their match at Stamford Bridge. Eze's shot found the back of the net, but the goal was disallowed as the goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, was obstructed by Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi.
The referee, Darren England, explained that Guehi's positioning in the wall violated the rule that at least one meter must be kept between the attacking player and the defending team's wall. This decision frustrated Palace supporters and sparked debate on social media.
Despite the ruling, Eze's performance has garnered attention, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly interested in securing his services. Eze's impact in the game against Chelsea, along with his previous achievements, has raised his profile and potential transfer value.
