(Video): Edouard Mendy blows his last chance at Chelsea with horrible error under high ball

Edouard Mendy was handed a huge opportunity by Frank Lampard today after a long spell out of the team.

The goalkeeper has been second fiddle to Kepa Arrizabalaga since picking up an injury in the Autumn, and today was a huge and rare opportunity to play for the Blues after Frank Lampard offered him a chance.

Sadly, he failed his first big test, and Nottingham Forest are now ahead in the game. Mendy flapped at a high ball and made it look hard, and Taiwo Awoniyi was there to put the ball in the net.
