Seriously who is Conor Bradley? A question Chelsea needs to answer
Who is Conor Bradley? Chelsea stand the better chance to tell the rest of the Premier League who this player is and how he came to play for Liverpool.
If Trent Alexander-Arnold can be called Liverpool‘s best Right Back, then history is about to change as Conor Bradley swoops into the picture to leave Chelsea having some explaining to do.
The North Irishman swooped in after the Liverpool right-back went off injured a few weeks back, and since his emergence into the squad, no one seems to remember the team once had a Scouser playing the position.
Conor Bradley has so taken his chance at the position that the manager decided to trust him in what was a crucial premier league match against their West London visitors in front of at least 50,000 fans on an Anfield night.
With 2 assists and 1 goal, the academy product has left the internet chanting his name and asking Chelsea who Conor Bradley is and how Liverpool came to be aware of such talent.
Liverpool led a very dominant performance against the Blues in a game that had a lot running for it. Win; they regain their 5-points lead at the top of the table, draw or loose, they risk Manchester City and Arsenal gaining a foot hold on them.
This game was not one to gamble with, and the Reds made sure they did not.
It could have been yet another boring stalemate between both teams like the first fixture of the season provided, but with a Diogo Jota coming forth to gift Liverpool the lead within the first 23 minutes of the first half from a Conor Bradley assist, the Reds kicked into full throttle to hand Jurgen Klopp something to smile about in his last premier league clash with Chelsea.
A successive Man of the Match winning performance from the Liverpool academy graduate.
The night was not to be lost on the academy graduate however, as just 16 minutes after Jota’s lead, Conor Bradley doubled the hosts’ lead.
Striker, Darwin Nunez had his chance to worsen the evening for Chelsea before the break from penalty spot, but the gift of the woodwork gave the Blues another lifeline.
The Reds returned from the break, with Bradley providing his second assist of the evening to help triple the lead via a Dominik Szoboszlai header.
Chelsea got their lifeline through Christopher Nkunku who came from the bench to pull one back for his team, but Liverpool had done the damage, with Luis Diaz only needing to tidy things up with a 4th goal.
The Last Dance of Jurgen Klopp continues, and the premier league title charge couldn’t be any more exciting.
If Jurgen Klopp will be remembered for anything, it won’t be for being a World beater manager but a Manager who made and brought out stars…
