Update #1: Terry returned to the Millennium Stadium an hour after being carried off the ground on a stretcher to celebrate the cup win with his teammates. Brave man, but I hope Chelsea give him a rest for a while.
For a discussion of the match (including the fight at the end), read Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal – Fabregas and Lampard deserved red cards.
For videos of the 3 goals, read Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal – Goal videos.
Now as far as we know, Terry’s off to the hospital, he’s conscious and hopefully he’s alright. Diaby’s foot hit him flush in the face and the way he fell and the way his head bounced off the ground, it was clear that he had been immediately knocked out.
Hopefully it’s just a concussion and does not require anything serious. The neck brace, as far as I know, was for precaution and there isn’t any real damage incurred in that area, which is a relief.
Will be updating this page as soon as more news comes in.
For now, here’s the video:
