Llorente loses it and we are carved open.
This has a 4-1 look on.
Rod on Ali off.
Rod scored here last season in CL

Rodrigo gets involved and we look better already winning a corner, Chelsea clear.

Klich and Rodrigo combine, just can’t find Bamford but it’s better from us.

All we've done this half is pass between coops and Llorente and then Llorente has kicked it long to a Chelsea player. Has happened about 6 or 7 seven times now

Llorente booked after bringing down Chelsea player bursting forward. Need to stop these breaks at source.
