One of the best Premier League games of the season so far, Chelsea vs Liverpool had it all. Stamford Bridge was packed to its capacity and the fans certainly had a wonderful time at the beautiful stadium.
Liverpool were swept aside by a resolute and well organised Chelsea side who looked more determined on coming out on top in every single battle that occurred on the pitch, only till the 89th minute though.
Chelsea failed to hold Liverpool to what could have been their first league defeat of the season, as the super substitute Daniel Sturridge scored a stunner from outside the box in the 89th minute of the game. It was a sensational strike from the Englishman, and Kepa clearly did not believe it.
Liverpool luckily bagged a point from the away fixture at Stamford Bridge.
#1 Chelsea are a very confident side
It was a cracker of a game as both teams were toe-to-toe in the opening minutes. Eden Hazard's brilliance bagged them a goal in the 25th minute, and Liverpool had a very difficult time catching up with the London side.
Maurizio Sarri has been doing wonders with his squad, and not many will be willing to bet against him pulling off a huge upset and win the Premier League as well as the Europa League this season.
Chelsea keeps possession of the ball with a certain degree of flair, as they seem to know where their teammates are positioned. The presence of mind, the confidence, and the understanding are world-class.
We witnessed beautiful football from both teams, though Chelsea dominated the game as well. The sweeper-keeper attitude Kepa has is certainly benefiting the London club.
#2 Liverpool are vulnerable to pressure
After that brilliant left-foot finish by Eden Hazard, Liverpool were as dead as door-nails for the minutes that followed.
Though they created and attempted plenty of chances, they lacked confidence and belief in themselves, and as a result they could only win a point from the game.
The Liverpool we saw yesterday was nowhere close to their best, and the front three clearly had an off day. The likes of Mane and Firmino had enough chances to ameliorate the scoreline, but it was Sturridge who did what was required.
Hazard's goal had a negative effect on the Liverpool team, and this is an attitude they should get rid of as soon as possible.
#3 Eden Hazard is insane!
After being heavily linked to Real Madrid in the summer transfer market, Eden Hazard stayed back at Chelsea with his teammate Willian, who was linked to Barcelona as well.
Although his Belgian mate Thibaut Courtois left for Madrid, it seemed like Eden wanted to live in the beautiful city of London instead.
Hazard had an incredible World Cup campaign, and he is only improving with time. This is because his electrifying dribbling skills, intelligent movement, and incredible shooting make him a real nightmare to opposition defenders.
Eden Hazard is currently the top scorer for Chelsea, and the top scorer in the Premier League, and if this form of his continues for a longer period of time, he might win the PL Golden Boot as well, defeating the likes of Aguero and Kane.
