The (stunning) game between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, counting for the 21st round of the Premier League, drew 2 goals.
Diogo Jota was the center of the attack reds – Jurgen Klopp, Alisson, Matip and Firmino all failed the game due to positive tests of Covid-19 – and the first part was simply memorable.
After 9 minutes, Sadio Mané took advantage of a bad approach by defender Trevoh Chalobah and dodged Edouard Mendy to score the first goal of the afternoon. Liverpool dominated and reached the second on 26′: Alexander-Arnold threw Mohamed Salah down the right, the Egyptian fled 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 take a comfortable lead at half-time, here was one of those game moments that make the Premier League so special. On 41′, Mateo Kovacic, in a sublime first-half shot from outside the area, reduced distances with the best goal of the afternoon and the Londoners, completely demonic, reached an equalizer even before the break, after N’Golo Kanté isolated Christian Pulisic and the American successfully submits to Kelleher.
In the second half, the pace of play kept the same tone, opportunities were not lacking but Mendy and Kelleher shone in their respective goals, holding the 2-2 until the end.
Bad news for the two teams was the extension of distances between them to the leader, Manchester City (53 points). Chelsea is 10 of the citizens, in second place, with Liverpool just behind, with 42 points but still one game (Leeds) in delay.
