Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Ryan Gravenberch put the first mark on the match 6', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Liverpool led Corners 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Liverpool also shaded Total shots 8-6.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Liverpool the favourite at 50.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
