Chelsea left back Marc Cucurella highlighted Mohamed Salah’s tendency to not track back as a weakness which his side successfully exploited in Saturday’s 2–1 victory over Liverpool.
Cucurella was the player who drilled a low cross along Liverpool’s box for Estêvão to bundle over the line in the 95th minute of an enthralling encounter at Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard had managed to deal with Salah for much of the contest inside Chelsea’s defensive third and took full advantage of the space vacated by the front-foot winger when bursting into the area to deliver the decisive pass.
