well very well welcome to you on this most pleasantly clear evening conditions absolutely
beautiful perfect for the beautiful game temperatures are kind as well no doubt
playing a hand in high attendance levels as well as an elevated level of anticipation here
surely this is the hot ticket going around in this neck of the woods it surely must be
and we have in front of us this gloriously imposing
arena absolutely picture perfect for a game of this nature
so jim who would you identify as the key man in this fixture
yeah and golo kante he is only one midfielder
but it often feels like he does the work of two or three he's got exceptional awareness for danger
and the stamina to make sure he can go and snuff it out over and over again if required he's also
exceptional in the tackle and when you watch him in a lot of parts of the game 90th minute plus he
looks as if he's in the first five it's getting the best out of here we'll account for so much
just joining us we are already on the
way
just brushed off the ball there
and it's paid forward well that's where he wants it
get the better of his opposite number
oh what a wonderful stop well what can i say truly wonderful goalkeeper
that's a throne
has he found his man zuma cuts it out psych and it's chillwell
hudson a toy
and it's hoisted clear rest of the question as cleta hits that law with a shot
well from right in front of goal there was no way he was better yeah it looks
simple peter but it requires intelligent use of space and good understanding to pull it off
deadlock broken it's one nil yeah this is also a chance to see what
happens to their level of concentration from here
with the crossfield ball
oh that is asking for trouble
oh that's a waste
hardly anything between the sides and it's one nil
giroud
he's gone for it trying to get it forward quickly
let's wrestle off the ball place it out to the wing
quick has a hit ford it goes
that doesn't tell the full story looks to clip it forward
chance to break
lovely feat who's gonna get that oh he's gonna be pulled back for that one
well being able to generate that amount of activity in the box means
it's hard not to pick someone out
thiago silva drives it forward
no that's not the ball he wanted hoists it forward
loose ball
hudson a toy
the breakthrough did indeed come in the first half but
i think they'll be looking to keep this intensity up now in the second half
leaving one nil at the break so we're just settling back into this second half well it's
been tight peter but i'm expecting things to to open up now we get some free-flowing football
shirou driving on he could shoot here
well that's where he wants it chelsea really have been alive to
interceptions and picking off any loose balls hudson a toy chill well
raspberry and he just whacks it away
dashing forward at pace
time and again they are repelled
and the through ball is intercepted
forward it goes
trying to get it forward quickly
robust but fair
giroud what are you thinking they're ahead but they're not playing as if they are
there seems to be uh more of an emphasis on
protecting their lead and then adding to it it's all gone a little timidly
and it's paid forward christians were asked and he's given the answers forward it goes the ball
needed to be better there it's a wasted charge we sit high timely intervention
well it's good stuff this is better this is the time to talk about risks
now jim is it they just have to hurl everything at it and hope
for a break well there's no two ways about it this is what they have to do
finds himself eased off the ball good idea just poorly executed
hudson a toy zayak this is good ball retention and
it should be enough from here but they want to double their advantage
hudson a toy
forward peter they have to fight the onset of desperation and keep enough cool heads to still
deliver oh and that should have been two yeah he knew only too well that to concede then would have
been tough to recover from that could prove a big moment in this game drives it towards the front
more than happy to take the muscular approach the balls come loose and the chase is off
yeah it's safe to say that they just need to manage this to secure the win now
right towards the front then zoom out battles to win it back
it is just the question of running down the clock now
and that's it terrific contest it really might have tipped either way the margins were tiny
just a goal in it and that was enough
would you sum up what we've witnessed jim well to me this is a result peter that's
