Football fans have expressed outrage at the BBC for missing Leicester City’s first goal against Chelsea in their FA Cup clash, which Leicester won 4-2. The incident occurred during a crucial moment in the game when Axel Disasi scored an own goal for Chelsea. However, instead of capturing the goal, the BBC was showing replays of a recent Chelsea attack, leaving viewers at home frustrated.

The error was compounded when, moments later, the BBC almost missed another goal-scoring opportunity for Chelsea as they were still showing replays. This prompted fans to take to social media to criticize the broadcaster for its poor production work and for missing such a significant moment in the match. Despite the BBC’s mishap, Leicester City went on to score two more goals through Stephy Mavididi and seal a memorable comeback victory against Chelsea. The win was marred by a pitch invader causing a temporary halt in play shortly after Disasi’s own goal.

Leicester’s victory sets up a semi-final clash with Manchester City, following SunSport’s simulated draw for the FA Cup. The draw for the semi-finals was scheduled to take place 15 minutes after Manchester United’s match against Liverpool, which decided the final team in the semi-final lineup.
