• e-mail

Chelsea gave the 支持する／優勝者s a guard of honour at Stamford 橋（渡しをする） on Sunday afternoon. Their players stood obediently in two lines before the kick-off and clapped as Virgil 先頭 Dijk and the 残り／休憩（する） of the Liverpool team 現れるd from the tunnel and marched through the middle of them.

For much of the 90 minutes of football that followed, Liverpool returned the favour. They did not 現実に applaud as Chelsea outplayed them and 安全な・保証するd a 決定的な three points in their 企て，努力，提案 to qualify to play in the 支持する／優勝者s League next season but they might 同様に have done.

Not content with leaving most of their first-choice midfield on the （法廷の）裁判, Liverpool 得点する／非難する／２０d one of Chelsea’s three goals for them with an embarrassing mix-up that saw 先頭 Dijk 粉砕する the ball into Jarell Quansah’s nether 地域s and the ball balloon across the line for an own goal.

If that wasn’t enough, Arne Slot’s 味方する 手渡すd Chelsea the clinching third goal on a plate 深い in time 追加するd on with a careless backpass from Dominik Szoboszlai. Moises Caicedo chased it 負かす／撃墜する, Quansah tried to （疑いを）晴らす it and （疑いを）晴らすd out Caicedo instead.

Cole Palmer 得点する／非難する／２０d the 刑罰，罰則, his first goal in 19 games, to settle the home 味方する’s 神経s and leave their coaching staff celebrating as if it was 現実に them who had won the league. Quansah marched off the pitch at the end looking inconsolable.

Some すぐに （刑事）被告 Liverpool of disrespecting the 競争 and teams like Nottingham Forest and Aston 郊外住宅, whose 仕事 in trying to catch Chelsea has now been made immeasurably harder.

But the truth is that Slot led his 味方する to the league 肩書を与える last 週末 and he is する権利を与えるd to 選ぶ whatever team he chooses. It was not as if he 手配中の，お尋ね者 his team to lose but he may 井戸／弁護士席 have 手配中の，お尋ね者 to give players like Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota and Quansah a chance to impress him ahead of 新規採用 決定／判定勝ち（する）s this summer. 非，不，無 of them did.

Chelsea were not 特に 納得させるing, 特に for a team that cost over £1bn to put together, but they were deserved 勝利者s and their victory kept them in fifth place, level on points with Newcastle above them and three （疑いを）晴らす of Forest below them.

They still have to travel to both Newcastle and Forest in their last three games and both those 味方するs will 供給する them with stiffer 対立 than Liverpool did at the 橋（渡しをする）. Chelsea got Liverpool at the perfect time and they took 十分な advantage.

Chelsea had taken the lead inside three minutes. Romeo Lavia, who has 行方不明になるd so many games through 傷害 but makes this Chelsea team so much better, started the move 深い in his own half with a clever pass to Palmer that broke the lines.

Palmer turned and played the b all wide to Pedro Neto and when Neto pulled 支援する his cross, it fell to Enzo Fernandez, who took one touch to 支配（する）／統制する the ball with his left foot and then 派遣（する）d it past Alisson with his 権利 foot.

It all felt so 平易な, so much easier than it would have been a week ago or any time 以前 this season. A minute later, Chelsea were nearly two up. Noni Madueke ran at the Liverpool defence, and ran, and ran before dragging a pea-roller just wide.

After that flurry of activity, most of the 残り／休憩（する） of the half was becalmed. It was not until past the half hour that it sprang to life again when Madueke produced a brilliant, mazy run, slaloming through the Liverpool box and seeing his 発射 封鎖するd. When Moises Caicedo tried to cross the ball 支援する into the box, it skidded off the 最高の，を越す of the 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業.

Eleven minutes after half-time, Chelsea 二塁打d their lead. They didn’t really 得点する／非難する／２０ their second goal. Liverpool 得点する／非難する／２０d it for them, although Palmer deserves all of the credit for creating it.

Chelsea fans booed as newly 栄冠を与えるd 支持する／優勝者s Liverpool were given a guard of honour?

Palmer won the ball 中途の inside the Liverpool half and ran at Kostas Tsimikas. He turned him and teased him and 新たな展開d him and then 削減（する） the ball across goal. Madueke tried to turn it in but Wataru Endo seemed to have 妨害するd the danger with a superb 封鎖する.

The ball fell to Virgil 先頭 Dijk. The Liverpool captain is 普通は the personification of 静める.?

But this time, the king of 冷静な／正味の swung his 権利 boot at it to try to 開始する，打ち上げる it upfield. The ball 攻撃する，衝突する Jarell Quansah squarely in the unmentionables and 回復するd into the empty 逮捕する.

The 当惑 of the goal ? and their general 業績／成果 ? spurred Liverpool into 活動／戦闘.?Slot called the cavalry and brought on Conor Bradley, Darwin Nunez, Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Liverpool’s 速度 増加するd すぐに. Nunez did what he has, sadly, become famous for at Liverpool and 行方不明になるd a sitter, a 解放する／自由な header that he should have 得点する／非難する／２０d but directed wildly wide.

Liverpool continued to have the better of the game but to no avail. Tsimikas crossed to the 支援する 地位，任命する and Mo Salah, who had been a peripheral presence, 長，率いるd the ball across goal and wide of the 権利-手渡す 地位，任命する.

Eighty minutes had gone when Palmer produced his piece de 抵抗. He got the ball 近づく the corner 旗, 加速するd past Bradley as if he was not there and then slid the ball past Alisson at his 近づく 地位，任命する.?

It 大砲d off the far 地位，任命する and away to safety but that blur of movement and beauty made up for the all the lethargy in an instant.

Then, six minutes from the end, 先頭 Dijk made the perfect run to 会合，会う a corner fr om Mac Allister on the 十分な and 力／強力にする it past Sanchez. Maresca put his 長，率いる in his 手渡すs and 簡潔に, it seemed as though Liverpool might 反抗する their torpor to 得る，とらえる a point.

It didn’t happen. In fact, Liverpool returned to charity. Szoboszlai’s nonchalant pass in Quansah’s direction was short and underhit and it did not take account of Caicedo’s relentless energy.

Caicedo chased it 負かす／撃墜する and got to it a fraction of a second before Quansah. Quansah swung his 権利 foot at it but made 接触する with Caicedo instead and Palmer gilded his 業績／成果 with an emphatic 刑罰，罰則.?

Chelsea had got lucky. They are ありそうもない to find either Newcastle or Forest in such 融通するing moods when they try to 調印（する） their 最高の，を越す five place in the weeks ahead.
