After pressure in the rival field, Lucas Moura stole the ball, handed it to the Englishman who finished off without thinking twice from outside the area and hung the ball in the corner. great goal
The inclusion of the full-backs in the attack was very important for Conte’s men in the first half. An overflow by Emerson down the right flank led to the second goal. When the Brazilian tried to cross, a deflection by a rival defender led him to get between the three posts.
Potter’s team reacted and, led by Bissouma, found spaces in the center. Maupay and Lallana had options to discount, but they finished wide.
