From the source
One Liverpool player was hammered for a ‘really poor’ moment during the first half of the Carabao Cup fixture against Chelsea on Wednesday night. It summed up how much of a slow burner this contest was that, by the 35th minute, there had only been one shot in total, a tame effort from Moises Caicedo.
However, on 39 minutes there was reason for the away fans to cheer as Ryan Gravenberch slid in on Moises Caicedo – who’d been running away from goal – inside the penalty area, and referee Darren England pointed to the spot.
Morgan Rogers converted the resulting spot kick, which was swiftly cancelled out by a penalty at the other end netted by Cody Gakpo, and Liverpool’s number 38 was criticised over his challenge on Chelsea’s Ecuadorian midfielder.
