Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea (5-4 on pens): 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Hit: Pedro

Pedro was relentless and Chelsea's driving force throughout

If only he could play like this on a more consistent basis. Pedro delivered arguably his best performance of 2019 and ultimately came up short against a Liverpool side who punished Chelsea's profligacy in the final third.

That's not a blemish on the Spaniard's display: he completed five key passes, created two big chances and hit the woodwork during a frustrating evening where luck simply didn't go his way.

He linked up well with Olivier Giroud, while watching on as Christian Pulisic and a more expressive Mateo Kovacic looked to create chances, though neither were able to do it frequently enough. Taking matters into his own hands, he took five shots over the 120 minutes and was just inches away from scoring a sweetly-struck winner deep into extra time.

His 96.4% pass completion rate was a game-high for both sides and he refused to shy away from the defensive side of his responsibilities either. He won nine of 12 duels contested, completed three tackles and won possession back for his teammates 13 times!

Only Kanté (15) won it back more often than the 32-year-old, who will be expected to build from such a purposeful display where he oozed confidence.
