Chelsea brought Liverpools freshly crowned champions back to earth with a convincing 3-1 win on the Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
Enzo Maresca warned that Liverpool was not “different or relaxed” despite the end of the Premier League title last weekend. Regardless of whether it was complacency or just a lack of language skills, the red goods were consistently sluggish.
A quick thrust on the right wing ended with Enzo Fernandez after three minutes of cool Chelsea at the front. Another climb that doubled the flank in the 56th minute the advantage of the hosts, even though they owed their second goal to the unfortunate Jarell Quansah.
Liverpool’s backup defender, who was very in the wrong place at the wrong time, had Virgil van Dijk’s ball painted into his groin area. The pain of behavior by pain to cross every viewer.
Van Dijk managed to redirect the ball to Chelsea’s goal in the 85th minute. Liverpool may have been ineffective in the open game, but her strong threat from set pieces was delayed with a tapping header by the skipper late in order to create a nervous conclusion for the hosts.
Cole Palmer cemented every three points with a punishment for the intermediate level and brought an impressive individual and collective display of the West London outfit against her high opponents.
