Liverpool consolidated its leadership position in the Premier League this Wednesday by crushing Chelsea (4-1).
Liverpool’s march forward in the Premier League continues. The announcement of Jurgen Klopp’s upcoming departure has in no way disrupted the Reds’ dynamics. This Wednesday, they defeated Chelsea at home by a large score of 4 goals to 1.
Liverpool keep their distance from City
Masters of the debates from start to finish, the Merseysiders left their opponents of the day no chance. The hardest part was even done in the first period, with achievements by Diogo Jota (23e) and Conor Bradley (39e). And the score could have been even larger at the break if Darwin Nunez had not missed a penalty.
Returning from the locker room, the locals continued their momentum. At the 65e, Dominik Szboloszai made it 3-0 with a header. There was then a surge, materialized by the reduction in Christopher Nkunku’s score (71e). But it was a furtive awakening. Barely 8 minutes later, Liverpool regained their three-goal advantage thanks to a close-range winner from Luis Diaz.
4-1 was the final score of this confrontation. With this victory, LFC preserved its five-point lead over Manchester City, winner of Burnley (3-1). Even if they have one more match, the Reds can believe in their chances of returning to the national title, four years later. And thus offer a dream farewell to their manager.
