Liverpool 5-3 Chelsea: How Liverpool Finally Secured Victory Over Chelsea
The English Premiership 2019/2020 season has officially been decided after Liverpool were crowned the Champions as they face Chelsea football club and winning in a very good margin.
The game of tonight between Liverpool and Chelsea was however not the determining factor as Chelsea actually decided the trophy after they beat Manchester City after the lockdown.
However, as the game of tonight ended 5-3 in favour of Liverpool, the champion trophy goes to the Champions of England, Liverpool.
Liverpool fans all over the world have been celebrating the victory with pomp and pageantry filled with fireworks before, during and after the match against Chelsea.
The goals from Naby Keita, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Georginio Wijnaldum put Liverpool into a commanding lead on the night of their title coronation, making Liverpool the Champions of England.
Liverpool has got their title party off to an almost perfect start, but an injury-time goal from Olivier Giroud gave Chelsea the hope of mounting a comeback.
The Blues can seal their place in the Champions League next season if they emerge from Anfield with at least a point.
But Liverpool was in no mood to let Frank Lampard’s side ruin their celebrations.
Naby Keita fired the home side in front with a thumping effort from distance which clipped the crossbar on the way in.
Soon after Trent Alexander-Arnold whipped in a pearler of his own, curling a free-kick over the wall and past Kepa Arrizabalaga who didn’t even move.
Georginio Wijnaldum looked to have put Liverpool out of sight just minutes later as he shot high into the net after Chelsea failed to clear a corner.
But just as Liverpool were dreaming of an early glass of champagne, Giroud struck on the stroke of half-time to remind them there is still time left in this fixture.
