Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori names Liverpool duo as toughest opponents

Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori said Liverpool duo Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah gave him a hard time in defence. The 22-year-old has impressed under Frank Lampard this season. Unsurprisingly, Lampard has had complete confidence in the defender since day one; the two (along with Mason Mount) spent last season together at Derby County and Tomori ended the season as the Rams’ Player of the Season. The centre-back named Liverpool forwards as the toughest opponents he has faced so far. The England international told Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp: “In the Championship you have a lot of different strikers – some love it in the air or like to go in behind. But then I’m playing against [Roberto] Firmino and he’s dropping deep into midfield. Things happen a lot faster and mistakes are punished more harshly. “Firmino was probably the most difficult [to play against] – along with Salah. Every time they got the ball, I was thinking, ‘This is a challenge but this is where I want to be – this is a chance to prove that I can play at this level’.” Source: Sky Sports
