Chelsea and Liverpool did not hurt each other in the 90 minutes so they played extra time, and a solitary goal from Van Dijk gave the ‘Reds’ the victory in the 118th minute.
The Blues played a great game, but with the recurring lack of definition in Pochetino’s team, the defeat came in the extensions of a match where the figure of commitment was goalkeeper Kelleher. Sterling and Jackson were able to put Chelsea ahead in the first half of the match where they met the figure of the Liverpool goalkeeper. There was even a goal by Jackson that was disallowed for offside according to the VAR.
The goal came in a moment of Liverpool’s trance. Juger Klopp’s team is the leader of the Premier League, is still in competition in the FA Cup and was crowned champion of the Carabao Cup. One of the most anticipated matches was the EFL Cup final, the perfect opportunity for Moisés Caicedo to show. He has become an interesting midfielder and continues to improve every time, showing that it was a matter of adaptation.
Of course, in England it has become customary to look for any error, to expect him to make a mistake at any moment. After what was the final, some comments were “The boy Moi had a great game, unfortunately the definition of the goals did not happen, the game belonged to Chelsea”, another fan was clearer in his assessment “Moi’s great game, they did not win But the good performance he had makes me happy, Chelsea needs a good coach and good forwards.” Moisés Caicedo started the first minutes well, appearing when he was needed and grabbing the marks very well. This is what was expected of him, that he could continue to be a star in the midfield, avoiding attacks. A version very similar to what his time at Brighton meant, there he showed that he was at a very high level. We must not forget that it was difficult for him at the beginning and he did not do the preseason at any time, so he had no way to adapt. Now with several past duels, he is becoming more and more settled and shows it.
