As per Sofascore, the Italy ahead misplaced simply two passes throughout his hour on the pitch, gained two duels, performed two key passes, created one ‘huge probability’ and delivered one correct cross.
That every one ensured Chiesa a ‘standing ovation’ as he left the sector of play, as famous by Nick Wright for Sky Sports activities, and whereas he didn’t have a aim to cap his first Reds begin, he confirmed greater than sufficient to recommend that the price LFC paid for him will seem like absolute chickenfeed in immediately’s market.
