Following a collision between Chelsea’s full-back Ben Chilwell and Conor Bradley in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final, fan footage of Joe Gomez grabbing Chilwell has surfaced.
Deep into extra time, captain Virgil van Dijk’s stunning late goal gave Liverpool a record-tying tenth championship in the competition.
Throughout the match at Wembley, there were many talking points, including a heated incident that occurred near the end of the first half.
The video below shows what happened when Bradley tackled Ben Chilwell to the ground and challenged him rugby-style. Ben became enraged and pushed his opponent.
One day later, fan film of Chilwell and Bradley’s altercation surfaced online, revealing the Liverpool defender Joe Gomez’s reaction to the incident on Sunday.
After grabbing the shirt of his fellow England player, Gomez spoke with Chilwell, who attempted to push Gomez back.
An incident involving Nicolas Jackson, Cody Cakpo, and Alexis Mac Allister is also seen on camera. In fact, as tempers heated, Ibrahima Konate had to break them up.
After the final whistle, Bradley broke down in tears and spoke with Sky Sports.
He remarked, “I don’t think I can actually put it into words.” “Obviously, I’ve supported this club since I was around five years old, so to now win a trophy with them at Wembley, it’s fantastic and I’m just thrilled. It’s an amazing feeling.
“I’m glad I wasn’t on at the end because I don’t think I could have maintained my cool.
“The boys performed brilliantly, and the younger ones who came on especially impressed me with their genuine hearts, desire to play ball, and drive to make things happen.” So, the boys deserve all the credit.
