Judging by Su Luo's performance tonight, it was nothing short of extraordinary.
Every pass and every breakthrough he made was pivotal.
This time, when Su Luo found himself surrounded and the ball was pressured by multiple defenders, he once again delivered an effortless and precise pass.
It must be said, once Su Luo gets serious, very few players can effectively halt his progress.
Most notably, Su Luo's passing ability is nothing short of phenomenal. When he finds no room to break through, he seamlessly shifts gears, using his impeccable passing to create opportunities—and this moment was no exception.
In the blink of an eye, the ball was at Pedro's feet in the penalty area.
One thing was certain: Pedro was in a perfect position to shoot.
But he didn't take the shot!
Instead, after a brief hesitation, Pedro passed the ball back to Su Luo.
Perhaps Pedro lacked confidence after his earlier attempt was blocked by Everton's defenders. This time, he chose a safer option, trusting Su Luo to finish the job.
Finally, the ball landed at Su Luo's feet.
Positioned near the penalty spot, Su Luo didn't disappoint. He unleashed a powerful volley that effortlessly broke through Pickford's defenses.
In tonight's match, Everton's goalkeeper, Pickford, had not performed up to his usual standards. Most of his saves could only be described as mediocre.
However, to be fair, given the current state of Everton's defense, even a solid performance from Pickford would not have been enough to secure a win.
The harsh truth was that the goalkeeper needed to rise above the occasion, using extraordinary individual skill to counter Chelsea's relentless attacks.
The moment Su Luo scored, the entire Goodison Park stadium fell silent once more.
This was far from the outcome Everton fans had hoped for.
For them, the goal was simple: to win at home.
But now, trailing by two goals early in the game, the Everton faithful began to voice their frustration, their boos echoing around the stadium.
Not long after the restart, Everton's players rallied, showing renewed energy and determination.
They knew they had no choice but to fight to the bitter end.
On the sidelines, head coach Sam Allardyce was equally fired up.
He shouted the names of his players hysterically, his voice booming as he tried to ignite their fighting spirit.
Then came an unexpected turn of events.
Chelsea made a rare mistake in midfield.
Hard work seemed to be paying off for Everton.
Finally, they saw an opportunity!
It was a misplaced pass from Marcos Alonso.
Originally, Alonso had intended to pass the ball forward to Pedro, hoping to launch another attack on Everton's goal.
But what he hadn't anticipated was the quick reaction of Lennon and Vingui.
In an instant, the two Everton players, who had been lurking just behind Alonso, sprang into action.
With perfect timing, they intercepted Alonso's pass cleanly and decisively.
