Chelsea started the match fast and took an early lead with Enzo Fernández scoring in the 3rd minute. Chelsea made good use of this lead and scored more goals in the rest of the match.
Cole Palmer was one of the best players of the match for Chelsea with his penalty goal and general play. Liverpool, on the other hand, were superior in possession and pressure but lacked in the final shots today.
Chelsea took this game personal and it was indeed a game to see that way and I don't blame them at all, after all if they play bad it will affect their chances of playing champions league football because if they lose it will keep them at a very tight corner and you'll know what that means, no CL games and the management will be blamed for not making use of this opportunity. Liverpool got tired to even engage in the game and you'd see how relaxed Salah and some of the players was, chase and drop back even the goal Liverpool scored wasn't one to celebrate that's why I said Chelsea took the game too personal. Palmer got his first goal since January and we all know what that has done to the young player, at least this goal will make him look important for his club.
Indeed Chelsea took the game really personal because for them there was so much to fight for. They are in the race and battle to finish within top four position, this win takes them up to 5th position sharing same points with Newcastle who lost in the weekend and just a point from 3rd position so you see why the game could not be taken lightly.
