Football — 02/01/2024

Chelsea suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat against Premier League leaders Liverpool, displaying a lackluster performance throughout the game.

 

Jurgen Klopp’s team dominated from start to finish at Anfield, leaving the Blues struggling. Despite sitting 10th in the league, Chelsea put up a weaker fight than Championship side Norwich City did in their recent FA Cup clash.

 

The defensive lineup, including Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva, Benoit Badiashile, and Ben Chilwell, faced difficulties, leaving goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic exposed.

 

Mistakes from Chilwell, Silva, and Badiashile contributed to Liverpool’s goals, with Darwin Nunez hitting the woodwork four times, preventing a more significant scoreline.
