Liverpool fans are buzzing after Federico Chiesa’s cameo against Newcastle.
The match was tight and full of intensity.
Chords came off the bench for just 16 minutes.
Yet he made his mark on the game.
The Italian who has only made eleven appearances for the Reds in all competitions has been on the pitch for a total of 387 minutes.
In the few minutes he featured at Wembley today, he scored Liverpool’s only goal.
He won all 4 of his duels and completed 100% of his tackles.
He also drew 3 fouls.
His performance was backed by solid numbers.
He completed 4 of 7 passes, had 17 touches, and recorded 5 touches in the penalty area.
He made 1 successful tackle and 1 recovery, and he won 4 out of 4 ground duels while also winning 3 free kicks.
With such impressive stats, it is no wonder fans are calling for more game time from him.
His impact was clear.
Fans note that he has barely kicked a ball all season.
Despite this, his performance has raised hopes that he can be a key player for the rest of the season.

Federico Chiesa was a major positive from a day of disappointment. He won 4 duels from 4, which is interesting as Arne Slot mentioned our loss of duels at full-time. He was bright, lively and showed that he really wanted to make an impact. He won 3 free kicks in just over 15… pic.twitter.com/lvJicwqqwe
