Lukaku decides the game here.
The brawny attacker marches in the direction of the villa gate, Targett cannot stop him, Konsa then manages to do it.
However, in the penalty area and not with fair means.
Jorginho takes the penalty and converts safely - 3: 1!
89th minute, AVL - CHE:
The Blues failed to close the sack here.
Now they come under a lot of pressure again in the final phase.
Is it enough for coach Thomas Tuchel's team?

Tooooor!
And the joker is there right away!
Hudson-Odoi crosses from the left in the middle, Lukaku loosens up in the center, Mings sleeps - and Chelsea FC are 2-1 ahead!

Premier League today in the live ticker: Corona shock for Klopp on Boxing Day
Munich - Boxing Day in the Premier League is actually the highlight of the season.
On Boxing Day, there is not only feasting and drinking on the island - but also kicking.
At least normally.
The corona virus thwarted the bill this year, so that three games had to be canceled entirely.
Including the game between Liverpool FC and Leeds United.
The corona shock for Jürgen Klopp!

On the other hand, the trainer of the Reds will be happy about the little break.
Liverpool was still active in the League Cup shortly before Christmas and has to play there between the years.
The German coach is the crazy burden of the current Covid numbers a bad thorn in the side.
Nevertheless, the league and its representatives decided early last week that Boxing Day would take place.
However, only six instead of the usual nine encounters will be able to take place due to corona.
