Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen's accidental punch sparks netizen fury

Chelsea clinched a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Lincoln City in the EFL Cup as the Blues managed to scrape past the spirited hosts.

On September 24, Chelsea fans again shook their heads in complete frustration at the club’s goalkeeping situation after Filip Jorgensen's bizarre moment when he punched teammate Wesley Fofana in the face just two minutes into the match.

The incident occured during Chelsea’s Carabao Cup third-round showdown away at Lincoln City. The incident halted the play for some time, though the 24-year-old defender, Fofana, was able to resume the remaining play.

The unusual moment went viral on social media, and netizens are reacting with divided opinions. Let’s find out here.

Netizen react

One user wrote on X, “Fofana fit again and Jorgensen punches him in the face.”

Another upset user with Jorgensen's continuous blunders, commented, “sell Jorgensen to the very first bidder.”

A third wrote, "Switched over to the Chelsea game and Lincoln just hit the post and then Jorgensen eliminated Fofana."

 A fourth one commented, "Jorgensen took out Fofana what are we doing here?"

First-choice keeper Robert Sanchez had faced intense scrutiny for repeated errors, including a reckless red card in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on September 20, 2025.

The latest win has come as a relief; Chelsea fans remain skeptical about Chelsea’s goalkeeping hiccups, leaving Maresca with a tough choice ahead in his quest to blend youth and experience between the posts.

Now Chelsea fans are recalling the remarks made by legend Jamie Carragher, who said, "With Sanchez in goal, Chelsea cannot dream of winning the Premier League."
