CHAOTIC penalty shootout at Anfield! | Liverpool 1-1 (6-5) Chelsea | Carabao Cup Highlights
Video summary
Press to jump
Joe Gomez stepping up at Anfield gave Sky Sports Football's busiest new upload an unlikely central character. Liverpool's shootout win over Chelsea passed a million views, making it the most-watched release in a week packed with cup ties, league highlights and studio debate.
Morgan Rogers and Cody Gakpo had exchanged penalties during normal time before the spot kicks became the entire business of the evening. Gomez converted late in the shootout, and Wesley Fofana's miss settled it. Viewers picked up on the unusual all-penalty scoreline, celebrated Gomez's contribution and pointed to Giorgi Mamardashvili's saves. Some also welcomed getting the whole shootout in the highlights.
There was another extended visit to the spot at Manchester City, where Rulli saved twice against Brighton. Everton's progression against Newcastle and Dortmund's late equaliser at Bayern added to a substantial week of match footage. Away from the highlights, Chris Sutton, Kris Boyd and James McFadden examined Celtic's defeat to Falkirk.
The freshest momentum belongs to a different competition. Sydie Peck's first-half hat-trick for Sheffield United at Preston is currently the channel's busiest video by daily viewing, narrowly above Bayern-Dortmund. Jobi McAnuff and Luke Chambers' discussion of West Ham's managerial change is also drawing attention.
Across the channel, the week brought roughly 10 million views and 5,000 additional subscribers. That was the largest weekly views gain among its nearby football-channel peers, with Barca Legion also having a substantial week. Today's viewing is nevertheless below Sky Sports Football's usual daily level: a busy seven-day stretch and a slower day can coexist.
