Cesar Azpilicueta, who handed him the man of the match, gets what we thought at the time was going to be the winner.
How does he get it?
Well, I think this is the big moment in the game.
This is where Alan mentioned it.
Pirillo comes off, and you can see there, Bakayoko runs into the box off of Carrillo, and I think he doesn't do well enough.
He's got to go and mark him, because for me, then it has to tuck in, and what he doesn't do is see Azpilicueta at the back post.
They're jobs you have to do as a midfield player.
If he tracks him, Bakayoko probably doesn't even run into the box.
He might even stop at the halfway line, and it's a brilliant...
Brilliant header.
It really is.
It's a difficult one.
It has a little flick.
But I think that goal is because Bakayoko runs into the box.
Carrillo, if I'm the manager there, I'd be furious with him because he's got to do a job.
He's got to mark him.
It's as simple as that.
Because as he runs off the back of him, he doesn't do his job.
And I think that leaves Firmino isolated.
And as a manager, they're the details.
