Chelsea had to suffer another stumbling in the race for the Champions League qualification when they were supported 2-2 against the city of Ipswich on Sunday afternoon.
It may feel like a point for the blues after two goals in the half -time interval for the blues, but the dramatically close nature of the race around the top 5 of the Premier League ensures that all points are reduced, especially for a side that is intended for the drop.
Despite the draw, Ipswich are 14 points of security, but will certainly comfort her unbeaten record against Chelsea this season.
How the game unfolds
“It will undoubtedly be a hard game,” emphasized Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca before kick-off. The blues threatened to undermine the prediction of her manager in the opening exchanges.
Nicolas Jackson stormed a close effort of the post, Noni Madueke made the outer edge of the wooden plant and Enzo Fernandez should have really guided his efforts from an open grass field in the penalty area under the crossbar. Levi Colwill forced Alex Palmer, who was increasingly employed.
However, Mystic Maresca could not be completely overlooked.
The visitors took the lead 1-0 like a thundering gossip from a cloudless blue sky. Julio Encisos steered effort was his team’s first shot on Target and Second Touch in the penalty area. Ben Johnson’s low ball over the penalty area to improve his Paraguayan teammate was only the 11th pass from Ipswich outside of her own half.
Ipswich was encouraged by her shock advantage and started another striker 12 minutes after her first. The pink arrows struck directly through the heart of the bizarre exposed host, with Enciso going to Johnson on the back post.
The second half was not old for 20 seconds before Chelsea halved the deficit. Madueke broke away from a lumberjacker path before blewing a low ball into the six-yard box in the direction of Marc Cucurella, which Axel tuzebe unknowingly directed to his own network.
The blues continued and examined to open the clear openings that they had wasted 15 minutes of the game during the opening. In the 79th minute, Jadon Sancho took a sweet goal from Jadon Sancho to transport Chelsea Level, and ended a lush effort over Alex Palmer’s dive from the corner of the box.
Despite Chelsea’s abundance of shots, Ipswich’s goalkeeper had been a spectator for a large part of the second half. Alex Palmer focused on Trevoh Chalobah, his Chelsea name Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez in the final phase in order to get a hard-earned point for visitors.
Arsene Wenger was routinely mocked because he claimed that the qualification of the Champions League was worthy of a trophy. Especially after the lucrative expansion of the tournament, it promises that it promises in Europe’s Premier Club competition, wealth that offers some other ways.
Manchester City crashed the Champions League this season before the 16th round was still around 66 million pounds. This will not even consider the countless sponsoring bonuses that will be taught to every club that will take place on European football on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. For comparison, Chelsea has earned 10.9 million pounds for the conference league through the confluence.
When Liverpool and Arsenal reduce the door to the two top tests of the division, Chelsea are one of at least five clubs that compete for three remaining slots. The draw on Sunday helped the blues to sneak into fifth place over the goals difference over the Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest three points in the third and Manchester City, only one point better in fourth place.
Newcastle United are not only among the pressing packs, but also has the advantage of games in hand. Fulham and Brighton may still have an eye on a late increase.
Maresca’s first replacement of the second half turned out to be frustrating for Chelsea fans. Not only the most penetrating threat of the team in the form of Madueke was decreased, but it was also replaced by the splitting figure of Sancho.
There were many speculations regarding the future of the Manchester United loan, since it turned out that Chelsea can avoid the inconsistent striker for £ 25 million by paying 5 million pounds to send him back to Old Trafford this summer.
The Groans and Murren von Stamford Bridge, who welcomed Sancho’s introduction, indicated which play fans may want to happen this summer. A glowing equalizer made a mockery about this frosty reception.
Sancho urgently urgently added Chelsea’s left wing and almost built another goal for Fernandez. With less than two months of the campaign, there are not too many options for Sancho to prove its value.
Jose Luis Mendilibar, Cucurella’s coach at Eibar, once claimed that the craused full -back “not” not “all the things we have with all the machines we have”. However, this season there were only a few Chelsea games that were not cleared by Cucurella – for good or bad.
Chelsea’s long bundle of bristles was caught when he chased his own cock to Ipswich’s two goals. The blues have prevented counterattacks this season and only gave three goals in the transition throughout the season. Nevertheless, Cucurella was part of the backline, which was sent two in the first half in the first half when he did not block Johnson’s cross and then crouched under the towering wing player.
But Cucurella is not the type of character that has approved a defeat. Mendilibarar properly understood one of his former player: “He is a footballer”. Cucurella tore the last third with even more ruthless stay than usual. He forced taanzebe into his early goal and was a constant presence on a deceased winner.
Southampton had confirmed her fate last weekend and the future of the other two advertised pages looks similarly bleak. 14 points of redemption with only six remaining games, consecutive advertising campaigns for IPSWICH will almost certainly follow the relegation.
But the mood of the tractor boys was as bright as their neon pink -away kit. “Nothing is 100% decided,” emphasized Kieran McKenna before the collapse of this weekend. Dukezebe insisted that there was still “optimism” and a “positive energy” in the club.
If you give up an advantage of two goals, this positivity may have delivered a dent for this positivity -especially with OWN -Goals -Corer -Corer -tuanzebe -but Ipswich’s ability to double Chelseas for the second time this season, some of these traveling quotas will give hope for a quick return to the upper flight.
