Liverpool looked at the sea, but they responded well to go to two goals.
Van Digik could have regained himself, but he went to the corner over the tape when he was in a good position while Darwin Nunez’s alternative was rejected by some of the wonderful defense of Levi Colwell when he seemed ready to raise the deficit.
The opening is sent to large guns
Feeling a transformation in momentum, send ARNE SLOT BOS RDS Arne to ordinary novice Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Salah remained on his way, but Liverpool’s top scorer was facing the afternoon, and he pressed another chance offered with 13 minutes to go, as Tsimikas directed the wide cross from a close distance.
Chelsea was playing at the end of the first half, but he pushed almost profits with Enzo Marisca men approaching twice to add a third.
