The (terrific) game between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge scored 2 goals in the 21st round of the Premier League.
Diogo Hota started the game red – Jurgen Klopp, Alisson, Matip and Firmino failed the game due to positive tests for Covid-19 – and the first part was simply memorable.
Nine minutes later, Sadio Mane took advantage of an unsuccessful approach from defender Trevo Chalobah and dodged Edward Mendy, scoring the first goal of the day. Liverpool dominated and finished second in the 26th minute: Alexander-Arnold knocked Mohamed Salah down from the right, the Egyptian escaped from the defenders. blues And, face to face with Mendy, he did not forgive, scoring the 16th goal of the season in the championship.
When Liverpool looked like they had what it takes to lead confidently at half-time, it was one of the game moments that make the Premier League so special. In 41 ‘, Mateo Kovacic closed the distance with the best goal of the day with an excellent shot in the first half from outside the penalty area, and the completely demonic Londoners equalized the score even before the break, after N’Golo Kante isolated Christian. Pulisic and the American successfully submit to Kelleher.
In the second half, the pace of the game remained the same, there were not enough opportunities, but Mendy and Kelleher shone in their goal, holding 2: 2 to the end.
The bad news for the two teams was the increase in the distance between them to the leader – Manchester City (53 points). Chelsea – 10 out citizens, in second place, just 42 points behind Liverpool, but one game behind (Leeds).
