Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0.
Next, goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is sawed.
– Make a big mistake, says coach Frank Lampard.
Chelsea paid more than SEK 800 million when in the summer of 2018 they made Kepa Arrizabalaga the most expensive goalkeeper of all time.
The result? A failure.
The 25-year-old has made several crucial mistakes and is now on the verge of being abandoned. In the middle of the game against Liverpool came credible information that it is now 100 percent clear that Chelsea is hiring 28-year-old Senegalese Edouard Mendy as a replacement.
And fortunately it is.
“Shocking”
Kepa was responsible for a new giant mistake. In the 54th minute, Sadio Mané was about to put one more goal for the visitors when, after entering the center, he fired from the edge of the area, but his shot went over the goal.
“There you have the reason why Chelsea should replace Kepa. That is shocking”, writes The Times Henry Winter in Twitter.
Kepa’s mistake came when he tried to pass Liverpool’s high pressure across the ground instead of clearing the ball in midair.
– It’s a big mistake, says Chelsea manager Frank Lampard.
Chelsea were also reduced to ten men since Danish midfielder Andreas Christensen received a red card for taking down Sadio Mané just before half-time.
Allison’s Penalty Guard
In the 75th minute, however, Chelsea had a golden opportunity to cut back. Liverpool newcomer Thiago Alcantara dropped Timo Werner, the referee awarded a penalty and Jorginho stepped forward to hit him.
But then Alisson Becker showed that he – at least in the current situation – is a better goalkeeper and Kepa Arrizabalaga saved.
The match thus ended 2-0 against Liverpool.
– It was a tough game for us, especially in the first half. Of course, it got a little easier after his expulsion. Overall, we deserved to win, Sadio Mané tells Sky Sports.
– The red card changed everything. Without him, and if we had scored a penalty, it could have ended 1-1. In a way, I’m still satisfied with the effort, says Frank Lampard.
He received several questions about the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga but only answered that:
– I do not want to talk about that.
