90 min +2: Chelsea stroke it across the again, wishing the subsequent 4 minutes of their lives away.

90 min: On TNT Sports, co-commentator Ally McCoist names Conor Bradley as his participant of the match. A no brainer. There might be six extra minutes.

89 min: Mac Allister trots again on to heat applause. “Darwin, while he apparently runs foul of some theories of Sax-ual selection, does a lot to contribute toward the evolution of Liverpool FC.” Peter Oh there, instantly on level after Grant Tennille (81 min) threatened to steal his pun-tastic crown.

87 min: Mac Allister is down, having been clattered by the brand new boy Casadei, and the physio is on. The Liverpool midfielder is in some misery, and when he finally will get up, he limps slowly to the sideline.

85 min: Some pinball within the Chelsea field. Clark can’t get a shot away. In the meantime, Palmer – who has been uncharacteristically quiet tonight – is changed by the debutant Cesare Casadei.

84 min: Elliott takes the ball off Mudryk’s toe and tees up Nunez, who’s determined for a aim. He sends a pea-roller into the arms of Petrovic. “Nunez is the first player in Premier League history to hit the woodwork four times in a game,” writes Dechlan Brennan. “Perhaps the scorer of great goals rather than a great goal scorer.”

83 min: Jones, who has been quietly glorious this night, makes method for Clark. “Nunez might have missed a hatful of chances tonight, but he has stomped all over the Chelsea back line,” writes Will Hebbron. “If he wasn’t on the pitch, Liverpool wouldn’t score four. Simple as that.”

81 min: On the touchline, Poch emits an extended sigh. Nothing’s gone his method this night. “For those curious on how to pronounce that new Todd Boehly production, it’s AAARRRGH-lye.” Grant Tennille there, girls and gents. He’s right here all week. Try the dental paste.

Nunez refuses to let every thing get him down. Gakpo rolls a move down the inside-left channel to launch the massive man. He crosses low for Diaz, who nips in forward of Badiashile, and slams into the underside proper!

78 min: Replays of that Van Dijk problem on Nkunku recommend Liverpool could have gotten away with one there.

77 min: Nunez has now hit the body of the aim 4 occasions tonight. Meanwhile Chelsea launch a counter, and Konate is pressured to cynically examine Nkunku. He goes into the guide.

76 min: This is absurd. Robertson is distributed into area down the left and reaches the byline. He dinks throughout for Nunez, who crashes a header in direction of the top-right … solely to twang the crossbar! Then Elliott fires the rebound goalwards, however Petrovic, going the incorrect method, kicks clear. How did the ball not discover the web there?!

74 min: VAR checks the Nkunku penalty declare. Van Dijk made contact together with his heel. For the second time this night, the non-decision is upheld by the video assistant. Poch isn’t happy.

73 min: That’s given the denizens of Anfield one thing to consider. Despite the scoreline, the house followers are betraying some nerves … and Chelsea have their tails up. Nkunku goes over within the field. He desires a penalty however he’s not getting one. The ball breaks to Gusto, who whistles a shot straight at Alisson.

Out of nothing, Chelsea seize one again! Chukwuemeka drives down the inside-left channel and slips a ball infield for Nkunku, who shimmies and shakes to see off Van Dijk and Konate, earlier than whipping a low shot throughout Alisson and into the underside proper! They couldn’t, might they?

69 min: To an enormous ovation, Bradley takes his go away. He’s changed by Alexander-Arnold. Also making method: Szoboszlai, Jota and Gomez, with Elliott, Gakpo and Robertson approaching.

68 min: Nunez hasn’t stopped working regardless of all the frustration, and hares down the appropriate after a unfastened ball. He bowls over Badiashile. Free kick. “Watching Bradley play, it’s heartening to see that even in the world of mega dollars, academy players are still worth their salt,” writes Dechlan Brennan.

67 min: … and in order that’s now a beautiful aim and two glorious assists for 20-year-old right-back Conor Bradley. The younger man is having an amazing sport. Another nice sport. Meanwhile Caicedo is changed by Chukwuemeka.

… after ready awhile, Van Dijk sprays a diagonal move in direction of Bradley on the appropriate flank. Bradley takes a contact to steam previous Badiashile and floats a forensic cross into the center, the place Szoboszlai steers a header throughout Petrovic and into the underside left. What a beautiful aim!

64 min: Liverpool stroke it across the again within the affected person Eighties fashion. And then …

62 min: Mudryk tries to tackle Bradley down the left. Bradley’s not having a bar of it, stepping throughout the winger and drawing a free kick. More cheers for the younger man.

61 min: Jota probes down the center earlier than dinking a move to the left for Szoboszlai, who dummies. Nunez has the ball at his toes simply contained in the field. He makes an attempt to steer a roller into the highest proper, however that’s straightforward pickings for Petrovic.

59 min: Szoboszlai’s free kick isn’t as much as a lot. It’s deflected out for a nook. Szoboszlai delivers that poorly as properly. Chelsea try and counter by way of Sterling, who has a easy punt upfield to launch Nkunku into the Liverpool half. He hesitates, although, and when the ball’s finally performed, Nkunku is miles offside. An enormous likelihood to ship the striker clear spurned.

58 min: Bradley is irrepressible. He steals possession 30 yards out and shifts the ball infield, maybe excited about a shot. He’s clipped by Caicedo. Free kick. The Kop serenade the younger man with nice feeling. Fair to say he’s in.

56 min: Caicedo dallies on the sting of his personal field and is robbed by Jota, who wins a nook. Szoboszlai hoicks it in. Van Dijk battles for a header on the far stick however loses out. The house crowd have grow to be slightly nervous. If Chelsea rating the subsequent one, this might get attention-grabbing.

54 min: Sterling tries to launch Nkunku into the Liverpool field down the left. His slide move appears to have finished the job, just for Bradley to romp throughout and get his physique in the way in which, drawing a foul and nixing the assault. He’s a correct participant, this younger man.

53 min: Diaz has a jig in from the left earlier than whipping a shot straight down Petrovic’s throat.

52 min: Jota and Szoboszlai mix neatly down the appropriate. Disasi denies the latter with a sliding sort out. The ensuing nook involves nothing. “I know that Jeff Sax is probably trolling (and that I’ve taken the bait 🙂 ), but we don’t call other players, such as Mo Salah, useless when they miss penalties, do we?” wonders Andy ‘Not That One’ Flintoff, not unreasonably.

51 min: Van Dijk permits himself to be spun down the appropriate by Gusto, who strides down the flank earlier than curling in low in direction of Mudryk, free on the penalty spot. Mudryk ought to rating, however leans again and skies his shot excessive into the stand. An enormous likelihood for Chelsea, by far their largest second.

48 min: Nunez shoots. Blocked. Caicedo units Sterling off on the counter with an excellent lengthy move down the left flank, however Bradley hares again to place a cease to the winger’s gallop. Sterling finally floats a cross in in direction of no person particularly, and Alisson claims. Another reminder to Liverpool, if the penalty miss wasn’t sufficient, that this sport isn’t over but.

47 min: Szoboszlai twists out of a crowded penalty field and dinks in direction of Nunez on the left. The flag goes up for offside. Nunez kicks the ball away in frustration and is booked for the match of pique.

Chelsea get the second half underway. They’ve made a triple change, changing Chilwell, Gallagher and Madueke with Gusto, Mudryk and Nkunku.

Half-time Nunez-related postbag. “I have honestly been a believer in Nunez and his development over time. But a miss like that one, in the context of a chance to put the game away when Liverpool are trying to win the Premier League – eroded a lot of the faith I had left I’m sad to say” – Colin Davenport

“Kind of surprised we didn’t hear from Jeff Sax after the Nunez penalty attempt. That’s kind of in his wheelhouse” – Joe Pearson

“Once again Nunez reminds us what an overrated player he is. Pathetic” – Jeff Sax

Half-time leisure. Join Niall McVeigh for the closing phases of the champions’ stroll to victory and a goal-fest at New White Hart Lane. You will bear in mind to return again right here, although? Don’t neglect us now.

The leaders have given Chelsea the runaround … however Darwin Nunez’s penalty miss can have given the guests slightly little bit of hope. “Chelsea aren’t even competing here,” argues Gary Naylor. “Liverpool could get 10, because there are red cards coming too.”

45 min +4: Gallagher has the ball on the sting of the Liverpool D, and Sterling in acres to his left. For some cause he declines to play his team-mate in, and Liverpool get away with one. For a cut up second, what promised to be a 3-0 half-time lead regarded like turning right into a moderately completely different 2-1 scoreline.

45 min +2: Mac Allister holds onto the ball within the absence of the common taker Salah. Then he arms it over to Nunez who sends Petrovic the incorrect method and … batters the spot kick flush off the right-hand upright!

45 min: Jones isn’t discouraged by his mistake, although, and this time bustles down the appropriate to win a nook. It’s half cleared. However Gomez, quarterbacking from deep, pings a diagonal in direction of Van Dijk on the left. Van Dijk brings the ball down elegantly and crosses low for Jota, whose foot is stood on by Badiashile. Over he goes. The referee factors to the spot. Jota stays down, although.

43 min: Nunez dinks a beautiful reverse move down the left to launch Jones into absolute acres. He’s bought choices left and proper, however hangs onto the ball far too lengthy, and by the point he tries to play Nunez in on the overlap, the striker’s properly offside.

42 min: Disasi turns into the fourth Chelsea participant to enter the guide as he takes a annoyed hack behind Diaz’s legs. Poch isn’t comfortable both, and earns himself a taking-to from the ref. Chelsea are in peril of dropping their self-discipline.

41 min: VAR checks for a foul within the build-up, as Mac Allister tangled with Gallagher within the center whereas Diaz was busy releasing Bradley on his method. But it was 50-50 and there’s nothing doing. The aim stands.

Conor Bradley is a correct prospect. Diaz turns into area within the centre circle. He waits, and rolls a superbly timed and weighted move to Bradley on the appropriate wing. Bradley lopes at tempo down the flank, drifts infield, and from the sting of the field rasps a shot throughout Petrovic and into the underside left. Dare I say this: Gerrardesque?

37 min: Mac Allister shoves Gallagher within the again. Lightly, however greater than sufficient for a free kick. Gallagher nonetheless goes down within the theatrical potato-sack fashion. Nevertheless, when play restarts, Paul Tierney has a quiet phrase with Mac Allister, which suggests his subsequent foul could properly result in yellow.

35 min: Another Chelsea reserving, as Chilwell jinks into the Liverpool field from the left. Konate hangs out a leg, then withdraws it. Chilwell goes over anyway, hoping for a penalty. All he sees is yellow.

34 min: … and slaps it straight into the wall. Both of Chelsea’s extra defensive-minded midfielders at the moment are teetering alongside the previous disciplinary tightrope.

33 min: Fernandez comes sliding hysterically into Jones and upends him on the sting of the Chelsea D. He deservedly goes into the guide for a comically late problem. It’s Alexander-Arnold territory, however he’s on the bench. Szoboszlai fancies it.
