The Reds conceded the draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday on Matchday 21 of the league. Manchester City is


Goals, suspense and relentless offensive action. If this titanic clash between Chelsea and Liverpool had to be described, it would be in these words. And finally, despite many clear opportunities, the two players of the day parted with a draw (2-2) during this 21st day of the Premier League. Still, the Reds had made it easy. Very offensive and enterprising, Jürgen Klopp's men opened the scoring thanks to Sadio Mané at the start of the meeting (9th). After a cross from Diogo Jota, the Senegalese hooked his compatriot Édouard Mendy and scored his eighth goal of the season. Liverpool then worsened the score through the inevitable Mohamed Salah (26th).

The Blues equalize in four minutes

Yes, but as we know so well, this time of year in England, with three days in a week, holds spectacular scenarios.

In four minutes, the meeting changed.

Without ever giving up, the Blues did everything to get back to the score.

They were rewarded with the wonderful volley from Mateo Kovacic (42nd), author of a great performance this Sunday.

Then, in added time of the first period, Christian Pulisic equalized (45th + 1).

If this match was spectacular offensively, it was also spectacular at the goalkeeper level.

Édouard Mendy and Caoimhín Kelleher (4 parades each), made high class saves to keep their team afloat.

But this result does not help either of the two teams in the title race and leaves a boulevard to Manchester City, Arsenal scorer on Saturday (1-2).

The Citizens are now 10 points ahead of Chelsea, second, and 11 over Liverpool, third with a game late to play.
