Everyone makes the same joke as Tiémoué Bakayoko is sent off for Chelsea

Tiémoué Bakayoko has had better nights than this.

He's had better seasons than this, too. Signed from AS Monaco in the summer, the French international has failed to produce the kind of performances many who saw him in action in the Champions League last season might have expected. Things got no better for him at Vicarage Road on Monday night. With Chelsea reportedly needing to win the game to save Antonio Conte's job, Bakayoko picked up two yellow cards in the first half, ensuring his teammates would gave to play the rest of the night with ten men. As he left the field, plenty of those watching - Jamie Carragher included - joked that his dismissal might actually benefit the champions. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/960611688411291648 https://twitter.com/MarkyMBryans/status/960612203836727296 https://twitter.com/sjstandardsport/status/960611620983660544 https://twitter.com/TheChelseaWay/status/960611936424677379 https://twitter.com/bra_purple/status/960614372845457410 https://twitter.com/Makipa88/status/960614910727278592 As it was, it didn't. Not instantly, anyway. Minutes later, they conceded a penalty, allowing Troy Deeney to score the opening goal of the game.
