If anything, he's helping Azpi. There's less of a target to hit, meaning there's less of an area for Azpi to cover. He isn't behind Antonio, he's the same side as the goalscorer.

Guaranteed Bournemouth turn up against us on Saturday. Shitehawk club.
Coming into today Chelsea have conceded 7.6 goals more than expected by xG. By far the worst in the PL - that's down to Kepa. Christ, what a catastrophe he's turned out to be.
There was a lot of space between kepa and Antonio. If he wanted to close the angle, then he could have. He chose to stay put.
Chelsea are the only team they turn up against. If you don't win 10-0 Ole should be sacked.
Fact is, he's having an effect on how Azpi can defend the situation... Whether positively or negatively, the fact that he is doing so makes it offside.
Given that that we beat them both times in the league this year on an aggregate of 6-0, i'd say that 2 of of the 3 would have to have a real bad game for them to and even then it might not be enough because the 1 could have a game like Greenwood yesterday with a goal and assist
Seen a better replay of the penalty incident. Agree now it was clearly a pen.
Disagree with the west ham goal being disallowed though even if it is 'technically correct'

Come on you Hammers!
It's gone under the radar but Leicester have only had 17 points in their last 16 games. It was only because they were soo far ahead that its now that anyone has actually taken note of it.
He isn't impacting on Azpi being about to block it or not, therefore he isn't interfering with play. If he wasn't there, Azpi still wouldn't have stopped it. He needs to be preventing a player from altering the outcome. If we don't believe Azpi could stop the shot going in, then he can't be interfering with play. There's simply not enough to to overturn the goal with way.
4.4 post-shot. So not quite as bad as 7.6, but still horrendous. Worst among all starters in the PL
Great skills by Antonio
Expect them to have glowing golden hair on Saturday.

I like Antonio. He is not the best, but he has a unique style. He plays like I imagine Usain Bolt would play.
Come on VAr, free kick for the dive please!
We always get shafted by refs.

That ‘tackle’ on Antonio in the build up looked very suspect too
deserved.
Antonio does everything whilst simultaneously falling over.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 
Chelsea made West Ham look like Barca there 
That's what people said about the De Gea / Gylfi one... That he wouldn't have saved it regardless. Didn't matter either way cos it still makes an impact on his decision making, and Antonio being in such close proximity to the incident is having an impact on Azpi.
Also, yey goal
Get in there West Ham!
