A witness saw the Chelsea player jogging across the Stamford Bridge field while wearing only his pants.
On Saturday night, Casemiro’s late header saved a draw for Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, ending Chelsea’s five-game winning streak. This continued Graham Potter’s unbeaten record as manager.
After Scott McTominay fouled Armando Broja in the box, Jorginho’s third goal of the year from the penalty spot in the 87th minute appeared to be enough to give the Blues all three points. Erik ten Hag’s players, who were without Cristiano Ronaldo, discovered a last-minute response.
After a barrage of United crosses, Casemiro scored his first goal for the team since joining in the summer from Real Madrid. The draw extended Chelsea’s league winless streak against the Red Devils to 10 games and marked the sixth straight stalemate between the two teams.
After the game, keen observers would have seen Mateo Kovacic, a midfielder, racing over the Stamford Bridge field in just his underpants. But why didn’t the Croatian have a shirt or shorts on?
The 28-year-old was giving his matchday gear to a Chelsea fan as both sets of players shook hands, spoke to their countrymen, and exchanged shirts. Nationwide, fans have continued to look for their idols’ game-used shirts, but one particular Blues supporter went above and above tonight.
Live on Sky Sports, Kovacic could be seen jogging in the chilly weather while wearing only his underpants and white socks. With fans and workers staring in confusion, he quickly entered the tunnel and the changing room, indicating that he didn’t want to be outside for too long.
