“We’re always quick to jump on the officials” – Pundit makes interesting comment about Morgan Rogers escaping red card in Chelsea’s win over Everton

Danny Murphy supported referee Paul Tierney's decision not to show Morgan Rogers a second yellow card during Chelsea's 2-0 victory against Everton. Speaking on Match of the Day, the pundit stated that both Rogers and Everton's James Garner made honest attempts to play the ball without attempting to deceive the referee, commending the match officials for their overall handling of the competitive fixture.

Murphy also highlighted Chelsea's defensive progress under manager Xabi Alonso following their clean sheet, singling out wing-backs Josh Acheampong and Jorrel Hato for praise. Chelsea currently sit fourth in the Premier League with 13 points from seven matches, though goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez suffered a jaw injury and Reece James remains sidelined following knee surgery.
