At the start of the game, Liverpool, playing at home, charged like a raging bull, launching wave after wave of attacks against Chelsea.
Spurred on by head coach Jürgen Klopp, the Liverpool players were full of energy and determination, vowing to defeat their arch-rivals on home turf.
Salah and Mané displayed excellent chemistry in the front line, breaking through Chelsea's defense multiple times.
Chelsea's backline was under immense pressure, and the situation on the field was highly unfavorable for them.
"We have to stay calm!" Captain Su Luo reminded his teammates after Salah's shot narrowly missed the post in the 10th minute.
But Liverpool's relentless assault continued.
In the 15th minute, Thiago sent a precise pass to Mané, who broke through and scored, giving Liverpool the lead at 1-0!
"Damn it!" Su Luo gritted his teeth, knowing that falling behind in an away game could deal a major blow to their morale.
To rally his team, Su Luo began organizing the attack more actively.
In the 20th minute, he delivered a beautiful cross to the far post. Lukaku was right in front of goal but failed to convert.
"It's alright, we'll have more chances!" Su Luo encouraged the striker.
Liverpool kept up the high-intensity pressure, putting Chelsea's defense on the verge of collapse. In the 25th minute, Alisson made a brilliant save on Mané's volley to prevent a second goal.
"Hold the line!" shouted head coach Antonio Conte from the sidelines.
As time ticked on, Chelsea's situation looked increasingly dangerous. If things continued like this, a loss was inevitable.
At this critical moment, team leader Su Luo stepped up. In the 30th minute, after intercepting a pass in midfield, he didn't pass but drove the ball forward himself, breaking into Liverpool's half.
"Pass it to me!" Salah rushed in to intercept, but Su Luo skillfully turned and evaded him with a slick back pass, then delivered the ball to Hazard on the right wing.
"Watch me!" shouted Hazard as he charged into the box. The Liverpool defender couldn't catch up. After a clever feint, Hazard calmly slotted the ball into the net to equalize the score!
"Great shot!!!" Su Luo was the first to rush over and celebrate with Hazard.
With the equalizer, Chelsea's morale soared. They began fighting harder in midfield, engaging Liverpool in a fierce back-and-forth battle.
In the final moments of the first half, Javier tracked back on defense and made a crucial clearance, sending the ball to Su Luo. Reading the field perfectly, Su Luo quickly launched a counterattack.
A long through pass landed right at Lukaku's feet. The "Little Monster" dribbled into the penalty area, faked out the defender, and calmly slotted the ball in with his left foot—Chelsea had taken the lead away from home!
"Brilliant!" everyone exclaimed. Liverpool's players were stunned as they watched the ball roll into the net.
The halftime whistle blew, and Chelsea entered the locker room with a 2–1 lead over Liverpool.
"We need to stay focused and not get overexcited," Su Luo reminded his teammates.
As the second half began, Liverpool ramped up their attack, putting Chelsea under immense pressure once again.
In the 55th minute, Mané unleashed two dangerous shots, throwing Chelsea's defense into disarray.
"Keep your shape!" Su Luo continued to instruct his teammates with composure.
Shortly after, Liverpool earned a corner kick. Anfield roared in support, but unexpectedly, Chelsea managed to clear the ball successfully. Javier passed it to Su Luo, who was waiting in midfield.
Seizing the moment, Su Luo dribbled forward with pace, leaving two defenders in the dust. With only the goalkeeper left to beat, he unleashed a powerful volley without hesitation.
The shot was fast and precise—Liverpool's goalkeeper could do nothing but watch the ball rocket into the net.
Chelsea now led 3–1!
"Fantastic!!!" All of Chelsea's players rushed over to congratulate Su Luo.
This goal was of huge significance—it all but secured an away victory. Liverpool's players looked stunned and frustrated as the ball settled in the back of the net.
