Chapter 255: Victory in the Kill

Costa instantly understood, he began to walk back, and avoided the rolling line of the football, the Liverpool defenders collectively raised their hands to signal that Costa was offside, but Costa walked back slowly like an outsider without looking at the football.

He was two meters away from the football and went in the opposite direction! The Liverpool defenders seemed to be waiting for the referee to rule that Costa was offside, and then they got a set-piece opportunity, but the referee did not blow the whistle and the linesman's flag was not raised, but Gomez and Clavan felt a gust of wind sweeping by!

Jones broke through the entire back line at this point and ran around a small semicircle to regain control of the football he was kicking! All the players of Liverpool woke up like a dream, and it was a nightmare! They shouldn't think like this! It should be the linesman who raised the flag to signal that Costa was offside and then gave us a set-piece! How can you ignore Costa?

How can it?! Mignolet's late abandonment obviously gave Jones a better angle to shoot, Jones controlled the ball in the penalty area to adjust, and then diagonally to the goal with the outside of his right foot to rub a ball with an inward curling ball, Mignolet lost his defense of the far corner of the goal, and he could only watch the ball hang straight into the far corner of the goal! The Liverpool players were furious after witnessing Jones' goal, the defenders all ran to the linesman theory, and Henderson also ran to the referee to protest!

"It was an offside goal! 100% offside! The linesman and the referee ignored it and put on a ruthless gesture, with the Liverpool players protesting to the referee and the Chelsea players hugging Jones in a frenzied celebration.

The bustle in the stands at Anfield was piercing, and many Liverpool fans booed in support of the team's fight against the referee.

'Chelsea scored another goal! They put the score ahead again! If you look at this ball simply, it was Jones who broke through Liverpool's entire defense with a human ball! However, the Liverpool players felt wronged, they thought that Jones had passed the ball to Costa who was in an offside position, and of course we cannot deny that Costa did not touch the ball or showed any signs of involvement, and he could not see the ball passing in the opposite direction as the ball rolled towards him. ”

But Liverpool's players apparently let their guard down, which gave Jones the chance to complete a solo goal, and in any case, the referee will not change the effective decision of the goal, and now the score is 3-4, Liverpool are behind Chelsea at Anfield, the game time is running out, and even Klopp is protesting to the fourth official on the sidelines, but this will not change the score that has now become a fact.

The Liverpool fans in the Anfield stands were in a huge state of frustration and frustration after protesting, Jones was playing at Anfield for the first time, and one of the players Liverpool fans wanted to see was probably Jones' name since then!

Kodic went to the sidelines to make a gesture and asked his team to start tightening up their defence to avoid being scored by Liverpool in the last minute, even though Chelsea should be able to get more golden chances now, Kodic chose to take it cautiously, and there was nothing wrong with that, after all, a 4-3 score would have won the game.

He brought on Pedro for Eden Hazard to strengthen the midfield defence, Jones and Costa also retreated to control the game conservatively, and Liverpool attacked immediately after the restart, and they couldn't accept the defeat at Anfield, but things got worse and worse.

In the 86th minute of the game, Jones sent a wonderful pass to Costa in the middle circle over the top, Costa went to the penalty area alone, he faced the falling football and hit the goal directly, Mignolet blocked the ball head-on, Costa regretted missed the opportunity.

Exhausted and technically depleted, his header was more of a slure effort and after Costa missed the opportunity, Kodic brought on Costa.

Costa was very active in running after coming on, but he couldn't find a tacit understanding with the main line-up, he was a little impatient, and in the next five minutes, Costa and Cesc Fabregas each sent a precise through ball to Segura, both of which were ruled offside because he started early.

Liverpool's attack now had to rely on long-range shots to try and threaten, and only Jordan Henderson's long-range shot from 30 yards out tested Courtois, but it was still not on the scoresheet, and in the final minute of stoppage time, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's long-range effort was blocked by Cahill's leg.

Liverpool won a corner kick, this should be the last blow of the Reds of the game, when the corner kick came out, the penalty area was overcrowded, Courtois was knocked to the ground by Milner when he jumped to hit the football, the referee whistled and punished the Liverpool player for a foul on the goalkeeper, Liverpool will not have time to complain and protest, just listen to the referee blow the whistle again, the game is over!

"In the 13th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League at Anfield, Liverpool lost 3-4 to Real Chelsea at Anfield, and in the first 30 minutes of the game, Liverpool had the upper hand, and they led Chelsea 2-0 at one point.

But since then, Chelsea have quickly adjusted, bursting into a strong fighting force to score three goals in a row to reverse the score, Henderson's penalty also made the score 3-3 at one point, but it was Jones' goal in the last minute to seal the victory for Chelsea!

Now congratulations to Chelsea on their victory, and if Liverpool still want to compete for the title, they can't afford to lose any more games! Chelsea have yet to taste defeat in all competitions this season, and it may be even more difficult to break the unbeaten streak in future games! But let's wait and see if Liverpool, who have staged a shocking comeback in the past, will give us a season that will make us fall through the glasses at the end! ”

After the game, the Chelsea players took off their shirts and hugged each other in celebration, but there was some restraint, after all, it was the opponent's home stadium, and everyone now knows that this is not a time to get carried away, when Jones spoke to reporters on the sidelines.

'It's your first time playing at Anfield and you've scored two crucial goals in the game, are you happy with your performance?

Jones smiled at the camera: "It's not bad, I played at the level I usually do in training today." ”

"Does facing Liverpool excite you more?"

'It's exciting to play against a big club like Liverpool, but I don't get cranky in the game, I focus on the game and I'm enjoying the excitement of my profession right now.

"Talk about your second goal, was it an offside goal?"

'Of course not, otherwise the goal would have been disallowed.'

The atmosphere at the post-match press conference was a bit odd, with most of the reporters looking uneasy, in fact, judging by the strength of the team's squad, the team's form this season and its performance in the league.

It was only natural that Liverpool and Chelsea would not be favourable when they met, so no matter how much anticipation there was before the game, reporters were not interested when the result was not unexpected.
