Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has defended goalkeeper Robert Sanchez after their draw with Arsenal.

Sanchez conceded two late goals as Arsenal came from 2-0 down to earn the point. The Spaniard was at fault for Declan Rice's long range drive.

Pochettino insisted afterwards: "We are so happy with him.

"He is of course disappointed by his decision, but mistakes happen in football.

"The goal gave Arsenal faith in things. Maybe we can read the situation better. We can risk something in the 77th minute because of our philosophy, but maybe a different decision should have been made.

"It is not to blame anyone. It can happen..."
