Federico Chiesa Has started to build a reputation as liverpoolThe latest super-sub due to his ability to make significant contributions in the opposition’s penalty area. As he cemented it, it was with his own bravery at the time of injury. liverpool They escaped with a 10th defeat in 14 games, a third consecutive defeat on home soil and a particularly embarrassing concession from a man who was sent in to score a winner. Perhaps even sensational options from previous generations, David Fairclough or Divock Origi, never managed it.
But when Wilson Isidore’s 94th-minute shot beat Alisson, Chiesa became the savior. “I looked up and I saw one of the players was completely free on the halfway line,” he recalled. Arne Slott“The good thing is that Fede may have thought, ‘It’s nothing for me to do, I’m too far away from the situation’, but he kept running, As a result, Fede could get the ball off the line, which is the minimum he deserved,” It was another example of how the Italian, whose Anfield career could have ended in the summer, never gives up, For this Liverpool can be grateful, If their season is becoming a damage-limiting exercise, they kept it from getting even worse,
After showing little at the start and too much ambition towards the end, Liverpool took the lead when a ball was headed past goalkeeper Robin Rouffes. Chasing a game, they scored at least one point from a losing position for the first time this season. Yet their reluctance to settle for it almost cost them dearly when they finished with their first draw of the campaign.
because actually it was Sunderland Who were deprived of victory. “We had a chance to score the second goal,” lamented Regis Le Bris, who was very close to scoring the first. Sunderland Winningest manager at Anfield since Alan Durban in 1983. And when Chelsea Talby, scorer of the decider against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, put them ahead, the Moroccan looked set for a remarkable double as Sunderland moved up to fourth. As it was, they may still look down on Liverpool in the table and regret aspects of a night in which they took the woodwork in both halves and when both scorers were Sunderland players.
Because while Liverpool’s equalizer was celebrated florian wertz And at the 18th time of asking he appeared to have opened his account late for his new club, instead it went to Nordy Mukiele, his deflection deflecting an off-target shot past Rofes. “In recent games we’ve had a lot of trouble getting the equalizer, but we’ve had a little bit of luck,” Slott said. A match of two deflected goals nevertheless highlights two expenses.
Liverpool were the biggest spenders in the summer. Sunderland might have been the cleverest. Talbi was a low-profile recruit and, at £16.5 million, low cost, certainly compared to his Liverpool counterparts. But he is proof that arrivals can be arranged quickly and while Liverpool are beginning to get signs of why they spent so much on their £100million man, alexander isaac And Wirtz, Sunderland’s massive overhaul has produced a hugely impressive side.

His banishment from the team was not a sporting matter; For the first time in his Liverpool career, He was a substitute for consecutive matchesonce again, Dominic Szoboszlai Priority was given to the right side. But without Salah, Liverpool were too narrow, with Szoboszlai. In the first half, they lacked ideas and creativity, pace and runners on the ball.
So the slot had to send an SOS to Salah at half-time. A minute later the familiar sound of Enfield singing “King of Egypt” was heard. Salah brought minimal energy and urgency, with the tempo increasing along with the volume. He had the image of a person desperate to get something done. “We expected Salah to come and change the situation,” Le Bris said.
Very little had happened before that. Alexis McAllister headed Joe Gomez’s cross in front of the post. Yet, apart from Szoboszlai’s curling shot, which was turned over by Ruffs, he created nothing of precious much in the first half.
Sunderland, meanwhile, hit the woodwork in each half. Troy Hume’s long-range piledriver was deflected onto the bar by Alisson. Omar Alderete responded with a header from Enzo Le Fe’s corner which hit the near post. Talby struck when Virgil van Dijk first stepped back and then saw the ball go in past him. Slott lamented, “Their goal doesn’t even stand a chance.” “If that’s the chance, we had 20 chances tonight. The draw was the minimum we deserved.”
And yet, but for Chiesa, it would have been another loss,
