Chelsea Hero Townsend: Victor Moses Is A Dangerous Player, Not Easy To Deal With
Published: May 06, 2018Former Chelsea hero and BT Sport pundit Andy Townsend has lavished praise on Nigeria international Victor Moses for his brilliant display in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Premier League.
Moses was excellent in the opening forty-five minutes and provided the assist for Olivier Giroud's winner when his teasing cross into the box was headed home by the Frenchman.
''Victor Moses is a very dangerous player and when he's running at you, he's not easy to deal with. When the ball goes wide, he's going to get out there, he wants a little bit of cover,'' said Andy Townsend during the half-time analysis.
''You can see Sadio Mane running back in behind to stop that cross. Virgil van Dijk has just wandered a little bit just in front of Olivier Giroud. Chelsea got good numbers in the box.
''I think he has done really well for Chelsea Giroud. It was an important time for Chelsea to bring someone in likeĀ Giroud, proven Premier League campaigner in many ways, he has done really well for the team.''
Moses, who has been directly involved in three goals in his last six Premier League games, finished the match against Liverpool with four key passes, the best among the players who were on the pitch.
