Giroud Praises Moses’ Assist in Crucial Chelsea Victory over Liverpool
In a thrilling encounter between Chelsea and Liverpool on Sunday, Olivier Giroud, the striker for Chelsea, has lauded the contribution of Nigerian international Victor Moses, who provided an impressive assist in The Blues’ 1-0 win. Giroud’s decisive header came from Moses’ well-placed cross in the 32nd minute, keeping Chelsea’s hopes of securing a top-four finish alive. After the game, the former Arsenal star showered Moses with accolades for his instrumental role in setting up the crucial goal.
Speaking about Moses, Giroud expressed his admiration for the winger’s ability to create opportunities: “I know Vic, and when he doesn’t cross the ball as his first intention, he goes on his left foot and still tries to cross it and tries to pass the first defender, and he has done it very well.” Giroud further praised Moses’ accurate delivery, stating, “There was a small deflection, and I had to be in front at the first post, and it was a great cross, and I have just finished it.”
The goal marked Giroud’s third in 11 Premier League appearances for Chelsea since his move from Arsenal this season. With 69 points from 36 games, the Blues currently sit in fifth place in the Premier League table, trailing Liverpool by a mere three points.
Looking ahead, Chelsea, under the guidance of Antonio Conte, will welcome Huddersfield Town to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. The match is crucial for their pursuit of a top-four finish, as they aim to secure a coveted spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. The encounter promises to be a thrilling clash between two determined sides, with Chelsea relying on their attacking prowess and the creative brilliance of players like Moses to secure another vital victory.
