LONDON, KOMPAS.com – The Chelsea vs Liverpool match ended 2-0 for the visitors’ victory.

Chelsea vs Liverpool is the second Premier League match to be played at Stamford Bridge Stadium on Sunday (09/20/2020).

Liverpool’s victory this time could not be separated from Andreas Christensen’s red card in the 44th minute and Kepa Arrizabalaga’s blunder.

Kepa’s blunder was the start of Sadio Mane’s second goal. Chelsea, who have played 10 people from minute 44, finally had to defeat at home.

The course of the match:

In the first half, the game was very monotonous, with only one shot on goal from Liverpool.

Disaster came to Chelsea in the 44th minute after Andreas Christensen received a red card.

Christensen was sent off for taking down Sadio Mane from behind. Sadio Mane was the leader of Liverpool and had already faced goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea and Liverpool made immediate changes. Thiago Alcantara, who joined Liverpool two days ago, replaced Jordan Henderson.

On the other hand, Chelsea, who had to play 10 people, replaced Kai Havertz with a central defender, Fikayo Tomori.

Four minutes into the second half, Liverpool finally managed to break the deadlock thanks to a goal from Sadio Mane.

Mane’s goal came from a double pass between Firmino and Mo Salah. Firmino, who managed to escape control, immediately released a gastric bait into the Chelsea penalty area.

Firmino’s pass was deflected by Sadio Mane with a header and entered the Chelsea goal.

In the 54th minute, Sadio Mane scored his second goal. On this occasion, Mane took advantage of Kepa Arrizabalaga’s blunder just in front of Chelsea’s goal.

Mane, who put pressure on the Chelsea defense, managed to cut Kepa’s pass to Jorginho.

Mane then hit the ball into the net to put Liverpool 2-0 up.

In the 61st minute, Wijnaldum nearly extended Liverpool’s lead. Fortunately for Chelsea, Kepa was still quick to ward off Wijnaldum’s right-footed shot from inside the area.

Chelsea, who are depressed, only had one chance in the 67th minute. Mason Mount tried his luck by shooting from outside the penalty area. However, Mason Mount’s shot landed on Liverpool’s goal.

In the 73rd minute, Chelsea received a penalty after Thiago Alcantara knocked down Timo Werner, who made the acceleration.
