00:04It hasn't, because of injury, featured yet in 2022.
00:08And their substitute for this 18-year-old.
00:14Nice touch by Kovacic, who passed the fitness test to be involved today.
00:18Kovac drives on.
00:21What a chance for Pulisic, who's no offside.
00:27And Kelahar has made a very, very important start.
00:34Just takes it past Keiter midfield and across Matty.
00:40I just think Pulisic is onside.
00:42And Pulisic just, I think, doesn't do enough.
00:46He takes it for granted, I think, that he just needs to get contact on it.
00:49And doesn't really...
00:51Tries to work down the sides of them.
00:55Talent, but so is Trent Alexander-Arnold with the delivery, with the cross.
01:01And there is the first real centre-forward himself.
01:06The wizardry of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
01:11It is spectacular, that cross.
01:15Back to Alonso, Mounts.
01:22Conte, just out of the reach of Pulisic.
01:31Van Dijk.
01:33Diaz.
01:36Deliciously taken.
01:38Driving a Chalabar.
01:39In for Mane.
01:40And touch-back for Navicator.
01:43And Mane.
01:44Oh!
01:45What a block.
01:47What a block.
01:48He simply had to score.
01:50He was...
01:51Mendy was not having it.
01:53Wow.
01:54You're not going to see many better saves than this.
01:57It's an absolutely fabulous reaction.
02:01It doesn't get any better for a second phase from a goalkeeper to make that save.
02:06How he gets up and throws himself in the way of that.
02:11Matic.
02:13Mane.
02:17Taken away by Conte.
02:19Taken up by Pulisic.
02:21Rolled on here for Kai Havertz.
02:22And the flag has stayed down.
02:24And Kai Havertz has feathered it wide.
02:28And now, in any case, the flag is up.
02:31I felt he might have just held his run enough.
02:33But this is the danger that Liverpool face when that turnover happens.
02:36Yeah, he's clearly offside.
02:40Nonetheless, he still doesn't know that he's got to finish it.
02:43Good recovery from...
02:45Mane.
02:46And Jordan Henderson looking to move it on to Salah.
02:50Alonso away.
02:51Robertson back in.
02:53Salah's round the back.
02:54Alonso was wary.
02:56In this game so far.
02:57I mean, he's just finding this pass into Mane every single time.
03:00He just seems to have the knack of finding it.
03:06Considered cleanly.
03:09Alonso searching diagonal.
03:12And Havertz.
03:14And Christian Pulisic.
03:16And Kelleher beats it out.
03:21Good ball from Rudiger.
03:23And here's Alonso.
03:25Knicked on by Pulisic.
03:26In by Azpilicueta.
03:28Havertz.
03:29Azpilicueta!
03:31The left foot line up for that.
03:34I didn't know...
03:34Really too sure what to expect.
03:37But...
03:37From the angle I saw it...
03:39It wasn't a bad end.
03:47Pulisic.
03:51Havertz.
03:52And Mason Mount!
03:56Still no.
03:58Still no.
03:58But what a run that was from Pulisic.
04:01Brilliant initially from...
04:03From Kovacic to win the ball back.
04:05Fantastic midfield play.
04:06Slips it to...
04:07To Havertz.
04:08He probably was onside because he came from so deep.
04:11It looked like he may have been offside.
04:13But the depth of the run from Mount.
04:15As Havertz gets his head up.
04:16It's a brilliant find.
04:17And how he hasn't hit the target there.
04:20I have no clue.
04:22It's definitely onside.
04:23It's full pace.
04:25He's just got to...
04:29Mourinho.
04:31Pulisic.
04:33Kai Havertz.
04:35Havertz around.
04:36That's it.
04:37And right across the place.
04:39It just needed the nearest touch.
04:41Flink.
04:42Well we spoke about how smooth Kai Havertz is with his movement.
04:46He does well just to stay onside as that last player.
04:50But this is lovely footwork.
04:51Just a little drop of the shoulder.
04:52Ghosts past Matip.
04:54And that's a great inviting cross into the box.
05:00It's Pulisic.
05:04Pulisic.
05:06He has found a way over the top.
05:08And extraordinarily.
05:10Mason Mount has hit the inside of the post.
05:14Or do you think there's a feeling that it's not going to be his day?
05:17I just can't believe he's missed his chance.
05:21Fantastic ball.
05:22Brilliantly timed run.
05:23He just gets it caught.
05:25First half with head in hand.
05:27He ends.
05:28He starts the second half in much the same way.
05:31Alexander Ronald.
05:32And Bias.
05:32That's delightful.
05:33Mendy ahead of Mane.
05:35Got a bit of a knock for his troubles.
05:37But it's a really good early decision.
05:40Very similar pass to the Mason Mount chance.
05:42That little clip over the top.
05:45Alonso has it.
05:47Drifts it over the top for Mason Mount.
05:49Havertz through the middle.
05:50If Mount can find him.
05:52There's Kai Havertz.
05:53There's Mason Mount.
05:54And there is Kriven Kelleher.
05:55To wrap it up.
05:57Well it's that wide areas.
05:59Van Dijk is quite deep.
06:00If they get the run on Arnold or Robertson.
06:03Which they have done a lot in this game Chelsea.
06:05It just opens up for them.
06:07It's a nice one too.
06:09Straight down the throat of the goalkeeper.
06:11Kelleher.
06:12Very comfortable save into his body.
06:14But another.
06:20Mendy with a miscue.
06:21Mane couldn't look up.
06:22Mendy's off his line.
06:24Salah's on his way.
06:25It's Mo Salah for Liverpool.
06:28Shot.
06:29He knows his team are in trouble.
06:31With how slick Liverpool are in their play.
06:33I think Salah just about holds his run onside.
06:36And again.
06:37Another example in this game.
06:39Of a player.
06:40Who you would usually expect to see finish.
06:42Or at least hit the target with a chance like this.
06:45Failing.
06:51Alexander Ronald.
06:52And Sadio Mane.
06:54And finally Liverpool lead.
06:58Buttled over the line.
07:00By Joel Matic.
07:06That one was unmissable.
07:10Well somebody had to score in this game.
07:13But it's the most unlikely of scorers.
07:15It has to be said.
07:17I thought there was going to be a shot on goal from Alexander Ronald.
07:20But he chips a delight football.
07:21The run from Mane from deep was brilliant.
07:25And as you've already alluded to Peter.
07:27That surely is unmissable.
07:30Joel Matic.
07:32From about three yards out.
07:34Cannot miss that chance.
07:36Silva looking on.
07:37It's all about the run from Mane from me.
07:40He takes a deep position.
07:42Keeps him onside.
07:43And it's from really freely going and competing with that ball.
07:47With Sadio Mane.
07:48And I think the referee is going to see that.
07:50As an off the ball infringement from Virgil van Dijk.
07:55And we know the statistics when the referee goes and looks at something at a monitor.
08:01It's no goal.
08:02And we're back where we started.
08:06And Joel Matic's back by his partner.
