Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel did not nominate Gunner Lukaku, who complained during a week in an interview with Sky Italia that he was not happy with the Blues. On the other hand, coach Jürgen Klopp was missing from the bench due to the coronavirus.
But the Reds also entered the match well under the guidance of the assistants. First, he took advantage of Manalo’s Chalobah’s mistakes, and in the 26th minute, Salah ended a separate run from an angle with a clever shot to the front post. The best gunner of the competition scored the 16th league goal of the season.

Chelsea returned to the match at the end of the first half with Kovačič’s show volley, and Pulisic evened up before the break. After the change of sides, both teams had a chance to decide, but the next goal was not scored. Chelsea are already losing ten points to Manchester City leader. Liverpool one more point, but the match is good.
Leeds sent Harrison into the lead in the 39th minute, which was a good sign for the home team – 18 of the last 19 goals of the English midfielder led to the victory of his team. And the unusual balance was confirmed this time as well.
After a change of sides, Cornet returned from a direct kick after an injury, but Dallas and James decided in the final quarter of an hour. Burnley has confirmed that he is the second worst team in the league on the field and is still waiting for an outdoor win. In the table, the Clarets are in 18th place, already eight points behind the 16th Leeds.

Brighton managed a shootout with Everton and with a 3: 2 win, he moved up to eighth place in the incomplete table. The premiere two hits in the Premier League by 20-year-old forward Anthony Gordon did not help the Caramels either.
