Manchester City 0-0 Chelsea (4-3 on penalties): 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Carabao Cup Final 2018-19

#2 Chelsea take it to Manchester City as the game approaches extra time

Pedro should have scored for Chelsea

After all, Manchester City are human. They were clearly displaying nerves of purpose, but this time along with those of apprehension.

As such, Chelsea, who were made to work their socks off and cover every blade of grass, got forward on a number of occasions to actually create better chances.

Against the run of play, Hazard was played in once again. He wriggled past a couple of challenges, weaved into the heart of Manchester City's defence, but instead of taking it on from the available space, he played it in for Pedro. The Spaniard should have fired a shot, but he decided to be too cute by cutting it back to his provider.

As a result, the chance was spurned. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, moments later, produced a brilliant piece of skill in midfield to create space. He played a through-ball to Hazard, who was inches off.

What is to be noted is that Kompany's substitution wasn't helping City defensively, as they were constantly being pegged by Chelsea down their skipper's corridor.
