DRAMATIC SHOOTOUT! | Liverpool v Chelsea Extended Highlights
Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:43Caicedo wins Chelsea a penalty after Gravenberch's challenge; Rogers converts.
- 2:41A handball decision gives Liverpool a penalty, which Gakpo scores to level the match.
- 4:42Mamardashvili makes a low save from close range.
- 6:44Pellistri's powerful attempt brings another reaction save from Mamardashvili.
- 7:37The level match goes directly to penalties; the shootout's deciding sequence begins at 11:00.
Two penalties settle nothing at Anfield. Morgan Rogers puts Chelsea ahead from the spot, Cody Gakpo answers, and Liverpool and Chelsea eventually need a whole shootout to separate them.
The EFL's extended highlights give that shootout room to unfold, including a chance for Liverpool to finish the job that Kostas Tsimikas cannot take. Joe Gomez later converts before Wesley Fofana sends his effort over the crossbar, sealing Liverpool's 6-5 shootout victory.
That sequence has drawn an audience far beyond the channel's ordinary start: more than two million views in the first day, over a hundred times its usual opening for a regular video. A separate Short devoted to the shootout also had an unusually fast start, alongside shorter match highlights and extended coverage of Sunderland against Brentford.
Before the succession of spot kicks, there is plenty for goalkeeper watchers. Giorgi Mamardashvili makes a low, close-range stop and later turns away a powerful Pellistri effort. Those saves help keep the match level long enough for the penalties to decide it.
In the comments, Gomez's conversion has become its own little event. Viewers single out his composure and discuss the distinction between scoring in a shootout and adding a goal to an official scoring record. Others focus on Alexis Mac Allister's penalty and the number of kicks placed high into the corners.
