Live Update
Mountain not far from there
35 minutes: Should Chelsea lead 2-0? Probably. Romelu Lukaku continued to grow during the game. He passed the ball to Mason Mount on the left, but the cross/shot went over the face.
Liverpool coach statistics
32 minutes: Except for the important one (no way). But they enjoy a 58% possession rate, have taken four shots-once for Chelsea-and have strung more passes together and have more touches.
They changed their strategy here and started running on the side road with Salah on the right. Perhaps this may unlock Chelsea’s firm defense.
Haverts keeps Anfield silent
As James said: “This silenced Anfield. This is a wonderful header from Haverts, but it’s only a percentage-designed to put it in a dangerous area. Aim at the far post and it might enter-or someone will Follow it in. It looks like a transition from the training ground to perfection.”
Target!Kehaverts loop header
21 minutes: It was a delightful header from Kai Havertz. He catered to it perfectly and hit it. Although Alisson couldn’t get there, he couldn’t get there. Liverpool has always been the more dangerous team of the two teams, but the European champions lead.
Liverpool looks dangerous
16 minutes: Both Liverpool’s full-backs provided something on both sides. And Firminho is playing according to his habit of catching the ball. Some clever exchanges between several people in red allowed the ball to go out for an easy-to-handle corner, but they got closer and closer.
James Robson at Anfield
12 minutes: “Liverpool is the better team so far. Henderson should have given them the lead, but fired at close range.
“There are clear signs that Chelsea can hurt them. On two occasions Mount and Haverts both tried to score but were fouled. Liverpool knew their threat.”
Henderson, come on!
9 minutes: Having said that, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s delicious diagonal found Jordan Henderson at the back. The Liverpool captain jumped and greeted it with the instep of his left boot. But instead of turning the ball to the target, he tried to cushion the assist on Mendy’s face. No one will encounter it. The danger is avoided. But active.
Energetic early
8 minutes: As expected, it was hot there. Men in red and blue clothes ran around. Many people pointed and yelled, but there was not much space.
Youth fire closed
4 minutes: The 18-year-old Harvey Elliot flashed the Chelsea goal from outside the penalty area. That is your faith.
Merseyside show time is almost up…
