Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has revealed that Enzo Maresca’s team targeted Mo Salah and Liverpool’s right-hand side, due to the Egyptian’s attack-minded positioning. After Chelsea‘s winning goal was supplied from Liverpool’s right, Cucurella revealed how they had targeted that area.

We saw that in the last minute.” Pundit Daniel Sturridge, who played for Liverpool and Chelsea, pressed Cucurella further on this, asking if it was a weakness of Liverpool’s. “If we do the crosses [with] maybe a lot of pace on them, so I think we try to make these things on our side and today it worked, and we can win the game in this way.” As the Chelsea man mentioned, the Londoners got their winner thanks to Liverpool’s right-sided weakness on Saturday.

“I think we created good chances but we didn’t score and I tried to give my last effort. While it was a good cross from the 27-year-old, had Liverpool been playing a regular right-back, Cucurella may not have been allowed the same amount of room.
