Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has backed goalkeeper Robert Sanchez following his high-profile mistake against Arsenal.
The Blues produced a superb performance against the Gunners in the derby on Saturday but they failed to come up with the win.
The club were comfortably leading 2-0 in the 76th minute before Sanchez's error allowed Declan Rice to score into an empty net.
This gave the momentum to the north London giants, who managed to find the equaliser soon after through Leandro Trossard.
Speaking after the game, Pochettino said that the club are so happy with Sanchez and said that mistakes happen in football.
He said: "We are so happy with him. Of course he is disappointed and upset with his decision but mistakes happen in football. It’s not to blame someone. It can happen."
Chelsea are currently 10th in the standings with 12 points, eight adrift of the Champions League qualification positions for next term.
They will be aiming to return to winning ways next weekend when they welcome west London rivals Brentford to Stamford Bridge.
