Billy Gilmour, with only 18 years, took control of the match against Liverpool. The young man of Chelsea was one of the best in the 2-0 victory that appealed to the FA Cup reds and has earned him praise from the press and even his coach, Frank Lampard, who called his game “incredible.”
The Scot had fun on his second night in the England Cup but remembered how he suffered on the first occasion he played in another Cup, the Carabao Cup. On October 30 of last year, Gilmour started against Manchester United in this edition of the League Cup and had a bad night against the red devils, and specifically, trying to overcome Harry Maguire.
“He pushed me and grabbed my neck. He told me he was just a little boy. I will not let it happen again. There I have to learn to be stronger. The moment he grabbed me in the area will help me learn, “Gilmour said.
That match ended 1-2 in favor of United with two goals from Marcus Rashford. Batshuayi made the only goal of the blues. Gilmour seems to have learned the lesson and is becoming one of Lampard's advantageous pupils.
