Keeper had pass intercepted for PSG that made it 3-2

Jörgensen was brought in for Robert Sánchez

Liam Rosenior defended his gamble of starting Filip Jörgensen after a disastrous error from the goalkeeper sparked Chelsea’s collapse against Paris Saint-Germain in their 5-2 first-leg defeat in the Champions League last 16.

The game was in the balance before a thrilling surge from PSG allowed them to establish a commanding lead before the second leg at Stamford Bridge next Tuesday.

It came after Jörgensen, seeking to establish himself as Chelsea’s No 1 after Rosenior made the big call to drop Robert Sánchez, had a pass intercepted by Bradley Barcola and Vitinha made it 3‑2 with 16 minutes left.
