Best Tweets: ‘Put Mohamed Salah on the bench and let Daniel Sturridge shine’

Just as we were prepping a reaction piece about one of the misses of the season, the (probably former) England striker redeemed himself with a lovely acrobatic finish to fire Liverpool into the lead against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.

But first… more on that miss.

Sturridge was played in by a woeful back-pass from Andreas Christensen, but inexplicably fired wide after rounding Willy Caballero.

Obviously aware that a wave of “social media reacts to awful miss” articles, Sturridge quickly set about making amends.

And he did so in style, scoring with a bicycle kick after Caballero had parried Naby Keita’s shot into his path.

Let the praise commence:

OK. Steady on.

Awkwardly, it mattered little as Chelsea fought back to claim a 2-1 win.
