HT | Chelsea 2:2 Liverpool

What a half of football this was – Liverpool were more dangerous in the first 35’, as they scored twice and missed two more big chances, but Chelsea came back in the last 10 minutes to level the match.

There’s no telling how this one ends!

Tuchel explains his decision to drop Lukaku for clash with Liverpool

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel revealed he took the decision to withdraw Romelu Lukaku, after the striker’s midweek comments had created too much of a distraction.

The Belgian striker was dropped from the Blues squad to face Liverpool in a title race decider on Sunday following his inflammatory interview with Sky Sports Italia.

The 28-year-old announced he was unhappy with his role in Tuchel’s system at Stamford Bridge and stated that he would like to return to Inter Milan in the near future.

Lukaku’s comments lead to the Blues boss’s decision against calling on him for the crunch clash against Liverpool.

Mendy: Mane is my brother but should have been sent off against Chelsea

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy believes Liverpool forward Sadio Mane should have been sent off for elbowing teammate Cesar Azpilicueta on Sunday.

The 29-year-old Senegal custodian says his national team compatriot did not deserve to be on the pitch after one minute of the thrilling Premier League clash which ended 2-2 at Stamford Bridge.

Mane received a yellow card for the elbow challenge on the Blues captain as the two jumped for a high ball - a decision Chelsea players were left furious with. The Lion of Teranga then went on to open the scoring after rounding up Mendy to make it 1-0 in the ninth minute.

Egypt international Mohamed Salah then put Liverpool 2-0 up in the 26th minute, his 16th goal of the season, but Chelsea hit back with two quick goals courtesy of Mateo Kovacic’s wonder goal in the 42nd minute and Christian Pulisic just before half-time.
