Overview
- Chelsea earned a 1-1 result at Anfield as Enzo Fernández’s in-swinging free kick canceled out Ryan Gravenberch’s early opener to halt a run of six Premier League defeats.
- A late challenge by Jeremie Frimpong on João Pedro was checked by the video assistant referee, but referee Craig Pawson’s on-field no-penalty call stood.
- Calum McFarlane said the incident was a clear penalty and argued his side could have taken all three points based on their chances and control in long spells.
- Both teams had second-half goals ruled out for offside, and Liverpool twice struck the woodwork through Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk.
- McFarlane praised Levi Colwill’s first start after a long layoff and said the defender is in his thoughts for Wembley, as Chelsea prepare to face Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
