Anfield witnessed one of the most dramatic endings of the season as Liverpool survived a last-second scare thanks to an extraordinary goal-line clearance from Federico Chiesa. In the 95th minute, with Liverpool holding on desperately, Sunderland produced what looked like a guaranteed equaliser — until Chiesa intervened with a moment of pure heroics.
Sunderland’s Player Beats the Keeper — An Empty Net Awaits
With stoppage time nearly over, Sunderland launched one final attack. Their forward broke through Liverpool’s defence, rounded the goalkeeper effortlessly, and found himself alone with an open goal. The stadium fell silent — it appeared to be a certain 2–2 equaliser.
Chiesa’s Last-Second Intervention
Just as the Sunderland player placed the ball toward the net, Chiesa sprinted back at full speed and produced a stunning goal-line clearance. It was a perfectly timed block, inches away from the ball crossing the line.
The clearance not only denied Sunderland a dramatic late goal but also secured Liverpool’s victory in one of the most chaotic finishes of the campaign.
A Moment That Will Be Replayed for Years
This was a match-defining intervention — a split-second action that showcased Chiesa’s determination, awareness, and defensive sacrifice. For Liverpool, it was the difference between three points and heartbreak.
A 95th-minute rescue, an empty net denied, and a season-saving clearance — this was Premier League drama at its finest.
