Within the peace of mind that has been the last champion of Europe and have almost secured the title in the Premier, the punctual moment of the team is the worst since Jurgen Klopp is leading. To the defeat against Atlético Madrid by Champions and the 3-0 win against the Watford by Premier League, a new fall away from home was added, and to those led by Frank Lampard.
The changes of the German coach influenced the performance of the team. The first goal of the game was a shot from outside the area that could not contain the Spanish Adrian, a replacement for Alisson.

The individual plays of Mané and the contributions of Divock Origi seemed to be the offensive cards of the visitors, who found themselves with an outstanding performance by goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Basque -ex Athletic Bilbao- responded in the crucial moments for Chelsea and was vital to keep the arc at zero.

In the second half, the former coach of Borussia Dortmund sent Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah to the field, but the two stars that make up the starting trident with Mané could not distort history.

With the fall in the FA CUP, Liverpool will have to cross out another national cup, as it had been left out of the League Cup against Aston Villa 5-0, the same week he played the Club World Cup.
For its part, Chelsea must wait for the draw to meet the rival of the next instance. Among the possible candidates is Arsenal, a team that beat Portsmouth 2-0 as a visitor.
