Who else could beat the winning streak of Liverpool apart from Sarri’s Chelsea. As if this was not enough the decisive blow came off the brilliance of Eden Hazard. Who else would it be. Coming off from the bench, the Belgian who was not expected to be playing the game was brought in by Sarri to do what he did, win the game for Chelsea, in a manner no other player on the field could. A brilliant right-footed shot from an angle unsuitable to hit for any footballer but for Hazard. The home crowd was stunned in silence in the 85th minute.
Start was as expected, Liverpool dominating the game play in opponents half, creating chances by and large, only to be denied by the finesse of Willy Caballero. The goalie is Chelsea second’s choice but showed glimpses of being capable enough to be number one.
Daniel Sturridge has left Klopp in a decisive trouble with his performance, last night. Former Chelsea player kept crowd on their feet with his trickery and when it seemed like he will score, the forward missed a clear shot on the goal. Not late to recover, Sturridge scored an acrobatic stunner to give home team lead over the Blues.
Causing trouble almost again, Sturridge’s long distance kick was denied by the sticks.
Chelsea, who were down in 58th minute levelled the game in the 79th minute, Emerson slotting the ball home after the ball was parried off Mignolet’s hand. A devastating kick was awaited by Chelsea fans and Hazard could not deny them. The Belgian solo goal began from his run through the flanks, skipping two defenders with his unpredictability to smash the goal past Mignolet. A powerful strike that was applauded by Chelsea’s assistan coach who said,” In my opinion we haven’t seen the best of him yet. He’s remarkable.”
The Blues finally drowned the Red team off their winning boat.
