How Brazilian playmaker Willian, at the forefront of Chelsea, defeat of Liverpool?

Chelsea defeated Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup thanks to goals from Willian (Borges) and Ross Barkley.

The former scored in the 13th minutes while Barkley got on the score sheet in the 64th minutes. While the match saw the prospect of strong midfield player Billy Gilmour breaking into the Chelsea side, the experienced Brazilian was at its best once again. The South American Superstar showed why he’s services has been courted by big clubs like Barcelona and Manchester United.

There are also rumours linking him to Juventus or even Inter Milan with the chance to link up with his former managers at the Serie A.

Willian’s intricate movement on the ball really unsettled Liverpool in the final third. He’s got the pace, the technical understanding while aligning well with his teammate in transit win to form a quorum to Chelsea’s advantage.

The effort paid as the Brazilian’s opener led sway for Chelsea’s victory in the contest. The Chelsea man has proven his quality in the past alongside Eden Hazard and forward Diego Costa. He’s doing the same along with Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount and this deserves encouragement and endorsement as far as the player and the club is concerned.

His penetrating runs weaken the Liverpool defence forcing them into a hasty decision as Chelsea profited to their own advantage to win the game.

This impact was unstructured in this victory as his form and performance may have inspired his side into advancing to the next stage of the FA Cup.

This is at the expense of Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp’s men could not
deal with his presence on the pitch. He was unplayable in the match as his win moment ensured that Chelsea had the advantage and improved quality to win the match at the Bridge.
