In the end, Gary Cahill took the lead and executed a brilliant clearance.
During the following period, Chelsea's players gradually began to control the rhythm of the game.
Especially when Fàbregas received the ball, he made a decisive move, sending a precise pass to Su Luo on the left flank.
Undeniably, Su Luo's personal abilities are exceptional.
And more importantly, Su Luo remains the core of Chelsea's offensive strategy.
Whenever Su Luo gets the ball, he consistently finds ways to break through the opposition.
This time was no exception.
After taking possession of the ball, Su Luo immediately launched into action, using his sudden changes in pace to evade multiple Liverpool players.
Among them were Henderson and Milner.
In fact, to further reinforce their defense against Su Luo, Liverpool even had Coutinho drop back to the midfield to assist.
To be honest, such a tactic was effective.
With three midfielders surrounding him, Su Luo found his path completely blocked.
With no other option, Su Luo decided to pass the ball.
Without hesitation, Su Luo made a quick decision.
He passed the ball back to Marcos Alonso at the earliest opportunity.
Chelsea's wing-back, Marcos Alonso, didn't overthink it.
After assessing the situation calmly, he made a swift decision:
A direct long pass!
Then—
In a flash, Alonso sent a perfect long ball into the attacking third.
Despite being surrounded by multiple defenders, the football sailed beautifully into Liverpool's penalty area.
At the penalty spot, Lukaku had already positioned himself to gain the upper hand.
What followed was Lukaku's moment to shine.
Undeniably, Lukaku's personal abilities are remarkable. His combination of strength and speed makes him a formidable presence on the field.
When Lukaku charges forward, he's like an unstoppable force—a beast in motion.
For Liverpool's defenders, he is a constant and immense threat.
On the sidelines, head coach Klopp acted swiftly.
Realizing the danger, Klopp sent multiple defenders to contain Lukaku. Among them were Van Dijk and Matip, two highly experienced players.
When these two defenders converged on Lukaku, his advantage was reduced.
Yet, Lukaku remained composed.
Without hesitation, he made a quick decision and took his shot.
This time, Lukaku relied on his incredible physical strength to fire off a shot despite the intense pressure from the two central defenders.
The ball moved with incredible speed, leaving the defensive players with no time to react.
But—
Despite the powerful shot, Lukaku's accuracy was lacking.
The football flew past the goal and out of bounds.
Lukaku had missed a golden scoring opportunity.
The score between the two teams remained tied at 3-3.
At this point, the second half had reached the 60-minute mark.
With only 30 minutes left on the clock, the game was nearing its climax.
Undoubtedly, these final 30 minutes would be the decisive moments for both teams.
At this point, every player on the pitch was feeling immense pressure.
On the sidelines, Coach Klopp was still brimming with energy.
He was shouting instructions hysterically, calling out to his players by name.
