Chelsea Fightback Shows Character
To their credit, the Londoners regrouped after the interval and demonstrated why they remain one of the league's most dangerous sides. Their equaliser came from a beautifully worked move that sliced through Liverpool's defence, momentarily silencing the home crowd.
End-to-End Action Keeps Fans Gripped
What followed was a breathless period of play where both teams traded blows like heavyweight boxers. The lead changed hands twice within a frantic fifteen-minute spell that featured spectacular saves, last-ditch tackles, and attacking football of the highest quality.
