Santos was reeling from the power of Jimenez’s effort straight into his groin

While the Brazilian could have played on, a Chelsea red card for Marc Cucurella meant he was sacrificed so they could get another defender on the pitch.
Jorrell Hato replaced the midfielder in the 28th minute to complete the misery.
Harry Wilson took a free-kick and when the ball fell to Raul Jimenez, the Mexican blasted ball at Santos’ prviates.
He was down, understandly covering gentials, and then subbed seconds later.
