Poor during the first half, they did not even offer much after cancelling Moisés Caicedo’s early goal. Liverpool’s defence did not look secure.

And soon, with no Liverpool player resisting, the ball was flying off Caicedo’s right foot and screaming past Mamardashvili on its way into the top corner.A special goal to enliven a mundane half. The one scare came from Salah crossing for Isak to head over but Chelsea looked strong and might even have had a penalty when Szoboszlai tangled with Garnacho.

They lost Konaté to injury, forcing Gravenberch to step into defence, and were relieved to see Pedro Neto and Garnacho spurn chances to extend Chelsea’s lead.The level of Liverpool’s play remained low. Marc Cucurella’s block was not enough and the ball span to Isak, whose attempt to turn and shoot instead turned into the perfect assist for Gakpo, who arrived to beat Robert Sánchez from close range.Chelsea’s nerve was under examination.
