Jurgen Klopp seems to have unearthed another gem in his final season at Liverpool after 20-year-old right back Conor Bradley scored one goal and set up two more in a 4-1 win over Chelsea in the Premier League on Wednesday. (More Football News)
Bradley, an academy product, has been filling in for Trent Alexander-Arnold during the England international바카라s recent injury layoff. He did his best impression of Liverpool바카라s first-choice right back in the way he took his goal and assisted on others for Diogo Jota and Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield.
바카라It just feels like I바카라m in a dream,바카라 said Bradley, a Northern Ireland international who joined Liverpool바카라s youth academy in 2019. 바카라It바카라s unbelievable.바카라
Luis Diaz grabbed Liverpool바카라s fourth goal in a relentless, dominant display by the hosts that included a missed penalty by Darwin Nunez, who struck the post with his attempt and hit the goal frame three times in total in the match.
By securing the 200th Premier League win of Klopp바카라s tenure, Liverpool maintained its five-point lead over Manchester City, which also won on Wednesday by beating Burnley 3-1. City has a game in hand.
Klopp has plenty of strength in depth for the run-in, with Bradley turning out to be a nice surprise and clearly able to provide great cover for Alexander-Arnold.
Bradley was constantly marauding forward and he slipped in Jota, who dribbled between Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile before shooting home left-footed to give Liverpool a 23rd-minute lead.
Bradley added a second in the 39th by running onto a pass from Diaz, advancing 30 meters and driving a low shot into the far corner from just inside the area. It was a finish of which Alexander-Arnold would have been proud, just like the cross Bradley provided for Szoboszlai to head home in the 65th.
바카라Trent should take care of his position,바카라 Szoboszlai said in a cheeky warning to Alexander-Arnold given Bradley바카라s form.
Bradley said he바카라d done 바카라pretty well바카라 in Alexander-Arnold바카라s absence.
바카라It was unfortunate the way Trent got injured,바카라 he said. 바카라I just had to try to take my chance.바카라
Nunez made up for his penalty miss by crossing for Diaz to score in the 79th, restoring Liverpool바카라s three-goal cushion after Christopher Nkunku netted for Chelsea in the 71st after coming on as a substitute.
There was a huge gulf between the teams, and the manner of Liverpool바카라s win might be psychologically damaging for Chelsea ahead of their meeting in the League Cup final on Feb. 25.
바카라It바카라s so clear they were much better than us,바카라 Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said. 바카라We lost every single duel.바카라
