As the core midfielder of West Bromwich Albion, Barry didn't waste any time after receiving the ball. He made a quick decision and passed it directly.
The whole movement was smooth and efficient, without any sloppiness.
The ball successfully reached Gibbs on the wing.
As a player who was once developed by Arsenal, Gibbs still had impressive speed.
During this attack, Gibbs encountered interference from Marcos Alonso.
To be fair, after Gibbs assessed Alonso's interception, he decisively made a quick 29-ball movement.
With the burst of speed, Gibbs successfully bypassed his opponent.
As Gibbs shifted out of neutral gear, he accelerated rapidly!
In no time, the ball was perfectly delivered to the forward, Long Dong.
By this point in the game, West Bromwich Albion's striker Long Dong had already managed to get the first point.
He struggled to complete a header attack.
This time, Long Dong's header was almost identical to Su Luo's earlier header.
The only difference was that this time, the defenders in front of Long Dong were Gary Cahill and Christensen, with Courtois as the goalkeeper.
Finally, Long Dong's header was easily intercepted by goalkeeper Courtois, without any suspense.
It's undeniable that Chelsea's defense is still far more formidable than West Bromwich Albion's.
After West Bromwich Albion completed this attack, Chelsea's head coach, Mr. Conte, immediately recognized the issue.
He realized that West Bromwich Albion's attack was quite sharp.
To play it safe, Coach Conte instructed his players to continue attacking the opponent's goal.
Not long after, Chelsea launched their second wave of offense.
In midfield, after Kanté received the ball, he didn't opt to pass but chose to advance with it himself.
It must be said that Kanté's forward awareness was excellent.
He first pretended to pass the ball in midfield, then, after waiting for the West Bromwich Albion defenders to relax their guard, he suddenly accelerated!
Then, Kanté moved with lightning speed, successfully reaching the halfway line.
As Kanté entered the opponent's half, more defenders from West Bromwich Albion began to converge.
Among them were Barry and Livermore—both experienced Premier League players.
Seeing Kanté advancing with the ball, the two players didn't hesitate and went in for the tackle!
Their approach was straightforward and effective.
However, Kanté didn't hesitate either and made an immediate pass.
A precise through ball.
In an instant, the ball reached Lukaku's feet.
At this point, Lukaku was already facing the goal. Upon receiving the ball in the penalty area, he quickly passed it!
The ball moved at high speed.
The defenders chasing Lukaku were unable to interfere effectively.
As a result, Lukaku managed to get a shot off in the penalty area.
At the penalty spot, Lukaku struck hard!
The shot was incredibly fast, leaving the goalkeeper no time to react.
Though Ben Foster was focused, he couldn't stop the pace of Lukaku's shot.
The ball successfully found the back of the net, breaking through Ben Foster's goal.
