Fans all fume at ITV after MISSING FA Cup goal during live coverage of Chelsea vs Leeds
FANS were left fuming at ITV for MISSING Leeds’ opening goal in their FA Cup clash at Chelsea.

'You can be too clever, or you can be daft, and that was ????????????????'

At the same time, Mateo Joseph fired the ball past Robert Sanchez to give Leeds the lead over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The striker needed just eight minutes to put the visitors ahead.
However, nobody at home was able to see his slick finish.
ITV decided to cut away to a replay of Sanchez fumbling the ball.
And as soon as the match camera returned, the ball was already in the back of Chelsea’s net.
Joseph’s goal was then followed up with a now-deleted Twitter gaffe.
Featuring a video of Joseph celebrating, a caption read: “chelsea goal concede by joseph scores.”
Fans certainly couldn’t believe their eyes after ITV missed the goal.

One said: “Darwin Nunez in TV directing duties.”
Another declared: “ITV missed Neil Armstrong setting foot on the moon because they were showing a replay of a bloke eating a sandwich at Cape Canaveral.”
One noted: “Embarrassing broadcasting from ITV.”
Another added: “ITV stop showing pointless replays when there’s live action going on, totally missed that Leeds goal.”
ITV cameras were on the mark though when Chelsea equalised seven minutes after Leeds’ opener.
Nicolas Jackson fired home with a clever finish to level the tie.
