Chelsea hosted Liverpool in the 35th round of the English Premier League.
"Report" reports that the match, overseen by referee Simon Hooper, took place at Stamford Bridge.
Although the central match of the round was of no tournament importance for Liverpool, who had already secured the championship last week, it was important for Chelsea in terms of 3 points, who aim to compete in the Champions League next season. It is no coincidence that the "nobles" were the ones who started the game actively: already in the 3rd minute, Entso Fernandes disappointed goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The second goal in the match was also scored by the home team: "reds" defender Carell Quansah sent the ball into his own goal. Towards the end of the game, the Merseyside representative took the initiative and made up for one of the goals: in the 85th minute, captain Virgil van Dijk headed the ball into the goal after a pass from Alexis Mac Allister. However, in the 6th minute added to the total time, Cole Palmer put the final point in the game by converting an 11-meter penalty: Chelsea - 3, Liverpool - 1.
Thus, after 35 games, Chelsea has 63 points. The team is in 5th place, which qualifies for the Champions League. Liverpool, with 82 points, announced their championship ahead of schedule.
