Reason why Chelsea 29-years-old striker Raheem Sterling took Chelsea penalty shot during chelsea vs Leicester City FA CUP quarter final (4-2)

Premier League team Leicester City played at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup quarterfinals, and Raheem Sterling’s penalty was stopped.

Saturday, Raheem Sterling, a forward for Chelsea, missed a huge chance to boost his confidence. England’s penalty kick was saved in Chelsea’s FA Cup game against Leicester City.

Mauricio Pochettino’s team got off to a great start as the Blues took the lead on Marc Cucurella’s tap-in after Nicolas Jackson made a great run. Sterling was brought down in the box in the middle of the first half, giving Chelsea a chance to double their lead.

This season, Cole Palmer has been Chelsea’s penalty kicker of choice. He has scored five of the team’s eight penalties, with Enzo Fernandez and Noni Madueke also stepping up. Sterling, on the other hand, took the blame against Leicester at Stamford Bridge.

Sterling tried to send the ball down the middle, but it went to the right of the goalie, giving Jakub Stolarczyk a simple chance to save. The Chelsea forward took a hit because his play has been less important lately, even though he has helped set up 17 goals in 35 games.

At first, Palmer looked like he was going to take the penalty, but he passed the ball to Sterling instead. Whether it was because Sterling was fouled and got the penalty, his choice to take it comes the same week that he was left out of England’s latest team.

With a one-on-one chance later in the game, the 29-year-old had another great chance to score, but he missed it. But the experienced forward was able to make up for some of his mistakes before the break.

Sterling sent the ball that allowed Palmer to make it 2-0 for Chelsea as he ran down the left side of the field. Pochettino’s team is now in a strong situation to join Coventry City and Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals. In the other quarter-final match, Manchester United and Liverpool will play each other.
