Sky Sports' On-Air Mix-Up: Chelsea Players Mistakenly Introduced as Axel Disasi Instead of Noni Madueke in Carabao Cup Semifinal

By -

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night.

The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.

But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead.

Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French.

Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.


 Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'.

A fourth commented: 'Sky sports calling Disasi Madueke. They’ve done it again.'

Disasi scored Chelsea's third goal in the 6-1 rout, converting Raheem Sterling's cross at the far post after the Blues counterattacked following a mistake from Middlesbrough centre-back Matt Clarke.

Earlier, Disasi and Sterling had combined to set up Enzo Fernandez's goal as the hosts took the lead on aggregate just 29 minutes into the second leg after the Argentine swept home the Frenchman's cross.

A half-time substitute for the ineffective Mykhailo Mudryk, Madueke completed the rout as he scored Chelsea's sixth nine minutes before the end, smashing the ball past Boro keeper Tom Glover helped by a deflection off Rav Van der Berg.

Chelsea will now face either Liverpool or Fulham in the final at Wembley on February 25 and have the chance to win a first silverware under Mauricio Pochettino in an otherwise largely forgettable season.

'I’m desperate to win a trophy here,' the Blues boss said.

'We won in three trophies in one and a half years at Paris [Saint-Germain] and we want to win here.

'I’m desperate to win. That is the headline.

'It’s really important for us, we’re going to have Fulham or Liverpool, two amazing teams, it will be difficult. But now is the moment to believe we can win.'

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures."
