The Senegalese was the catalyst for the Reds’ victory not only because of the two goals he scored in the second half, but also because of the fact that he allowed them to play a numerical advantage throughout the second half, with Christensen putting him out of range in the final. first 45 minutes and see red card directly.
Debut and actually quite positive for the Merseyside team was made by Thiago Alcantara who came in at 46 ‘instead of Henderson (he had 75 passes in total, more than any Chelsea player who played the full 90 minutes), while Allison also had a significant second triple contribution from his team in as many first Premier League matches, repelled Zorzinho’s penalty in the 75th minute.
THE MATCH
Liverpool were the best team on the pitch at halftime (7-1 in the final in their favor) excelling in possession and creating problems with the pressure on the development of Chelsea, although the big phases against the two hosts were few.
The Reds threatened in the 14th minute after a misjudgment by Kepa and Salah’s spin where Christensen saved against Firmino and got into a corner, while they had two more good moments to lead: in the 34th minute with Salah’s parallel spin and 36 ‘A shot from Robertson into the area after a center from Henderson. Instead, the only good phase for the Londoners came in the 32nd minute, with Werner’s shot from the left outside the box that went off the left crossbar.
In fact, the most important phase of the first half came shortly before the two teams went to the locker room for halftime, with Christensen pulling Mane out of the box, wanting to prevent him from going out on all fours with Kepa and referee Paul Tierney showing . initially with a yellow card but then watching the phase on the monitor via VAR and deciding to show a direct red to the Danish stopper (the first to be eliminated in a Premier League match between the two teams after Frank Lampard in 2009).
Lampard threw a defender (Tomori vs. Haverts) from the moment his team was left with 10 players and Klopp replaced the newly acquired Thiago in place of captain Henderson early in the second half, the first ten minutes being a dream for the champions. England and a nightmare for Londoners.
The Reds locked Chelsea in their frames and caused suffocating pressure, with the punches bringing two goals! In the 50th minute, Salah and Firmino combined perfectly and the Brazilian made a sweet cross at the height of the small area, with Manet finishing with his head and sending the ball to the right corner of Kepa’s goal (0-1).
Four minutes later, Kepa received the ball from a teammate and wanted to chase it, but inadvertently gave it to Mane and the Senegalese did not give in to the Spanish goalkeeper but punished his mistake, scoring 2-0 with a shot from inside the area. . With that goal he became the third Liverpool player to score two goals in a league game at Stamford Bridge after Steve McManaman (1995) and Philippe Coutinho (2015).
The aftermath found the Reds in complete control through the movement of the ball against the 10-man Chelsea, with the Blues still having a great chance to regain the match in the 75th minute after Werner was ousted by Thiago Alcántara in wide area. Red. However, they wasted it to the disappointment of their fans, with Allison falling into his left corner and repelled with a left fist the execution of specialist Zorginio.
This was Zorginio’s first missed penalty in his ninth consecutive run in a Chelsea jersey in all competitions, while Allison caught his first penalty since playing for Liverpool (in total he has been hit three times).
The continuation of the match found Liverpool to control the match and not be threatened beyond a shot by Werner who said no to Allison, while in the last phase of the match they lost the opportunity for a third goal, with Salah and Vainaldum. failing. to send the ball into Kepa’s net.
