Chelsea drew 2-2 with Liverpool, and the two title-winning teams are now more like outsiders reading with the prince in a classic game.
Although the biggest focus came from the goalkeepers on both sides, neither side was able to find a winner, even if Chelsea's pressure on Liverpool increased to an almost unbearable level, but it made Manchester City happy. In the 2-2 draw, Chelsea trailed Manchester City by 10 points, while Liverpool, who played one less game, trailed by 11 points.
Of course, this game also allowed us to see a lot of things.
1. Familiar duos cause damage.
Salah scored and Alexander-Arnold assisted. This isn't the first time Liverpool right-backs have worked together this season, and it certainly won't be the last.
Arnold found his teammate in the 26th minute with a delightful quick pass, and Salah crossed Mendy to score. It was a great goal, with both players at their peak throughout the season, which caused a lot of unease to Chelsea's defence.
Tuchel was the most angry man of the game, and he was shocked by the way Arnold had time to choose to pass the ball and the way Alonso failed to approach Salah in the penalty area.
2. Despite the exhaustion of both sides, the game is still exciting.
Due to injuries and the epidemic, both teams have the absence of key players. Chelsea defenders were without James, Christensen and Chilwell, and Romelu Lukaku was dropped over controversial interviews.
Meanwhile, due to the pandemic, Liverpool had to survive without Alisson, Matip, Firmino and Klopp, while Thiago was sidelined due to injury.
But these didn't have much of a negative impact on the game.
Chelsea and Liverpool maintained a frantic rhythm throughout the first half, with the Blues attacking for a long time in the Reds' half but unfortunately not making a breakthrough. In many ways, Tuchel's biggest enemy is themselves.
In addition to the goalkeeper's save, Pulisic was also shown a yellow card for a crucial challenge to Jota, Mount avoided a red card after a VAR check for allegedly kicking against Jota, and Kante and Fabinho returned to their best with positive performances.
3. The match of the goalkeeper.
The biggest watch of this game should have a place for the performance of the goalkeepers on both sides.
Mendy jumped up with a brilliant right foot and denied Salah's goal. Two minutes later, Mendy made two beautiful saves in a match against Salah. On the other end, Kelleher made a good show of himself by vigorously blocking Pulisic's efforts, and in short, the 23-year-old Kelleher continued to prove himself as an excellent replacement for Alisson.
