CHELSEA failed to reap positive results in the second week of the 2020-2021 Premier League. Entertaining Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, The Blues – nicknamed Chelsea – defeated 0-2. Liverpool’s goals in the match were scored by Sadio Mane in the 50 and 54 minutes.
In this match, there were a number of players who performed well, but there were also some who performed poorly. Anyone?
Here are 5 players who performed well and badly in the Chelsea vs Liverpool match:
5. Alisson Becker (Liverpool) – Good
Alisson made three saves in this match. However, the most classy save was recorded by the Brazilian passport goalkeeper in the 75th minute. At that time, Alisson Becker saved Chelsea midfielder Jorginho’s penalty!
Jorginho’s failure to take a penalty was the first experienced by the midfielder with the Italian passport since joining Chelsea in 2018. Before this early morning match, Jorginho was Chelsea’s penalty taker eight times and always carried out his duties perfectly. Because of this, Alisson deserves to be appreciated for his success in holding Jorginho’s penalty.
4. Andres Christensen (Chelsea) – Bad
Christensen is arguably the cause of Chelsea’s defeat to Liverpool. As a result of Christensen receiving a red card in the first half of injury time, Chelsea had to face Liverpool with 10 players in the second half.
As a result of only playing with 10 people, Chelsea conceded two goals in the second half. Christensen received a red card after dropping Liverpool winger Sadio Mane, right in front of the Blues penalty box.
3. Fabinho (Liverpool) – Good
Fabinho became an impromptu Liverpool center-back because Virgil van Dijk’s duet at the heart of the defense, Joe Gomez, suffered an injury. The same thing happened to another Liverpool center-back, Joel Matip.
Although he did not play a role in his original position, Fabinho looked excellent. The Brazilian passport midfielder has several times killed stabs designed by Chelsea players such as Timo Werner and Mason Mount.
2. Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea)
Kepa Arrizabalaga was in pain in this match. The 25-year-old goalkeeper made a blunder in the 54th minute. When he was about to build an attack, Kepa Arrizabalaga intended to release a long ball.
However, Kepa’s bait hit Sadio Mane. Without lingering, Sadio Mane calmly broke into the goalkeeper’s goal with the Spanish passport. Therefore, Kepa’s future with Chelsea is again in doubt.
1.Sadio Mane (Liverpool)
Mane is the star of Liverpool’s victory over Chelsea, given the two goals from the Senegalese player. Liverpool’s first goal was scored by Mane in the 50th minute, after receiving Roberto Firmino’s cross.
After four minutes, Mane broke into the Chelsea goal again using an error made by Kepa Arrizabalaga. Therefore, the whoscored statistics page gives Mane a perfect score, which is 10.
