Conor Bradley takes swipe at Ben Chilwell after Liverpool star outshines Chelsea rival

Liverpool's star defender Conor Bradley seemed to poke fun at Ben Chilwell after Liverpool's victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Chilwell and Bradley often found themselves head-to-head in Liverpool's attacking zone, with Bradley frequently outperforming Chilwell without needing backup from Raheem Sterling.

Throughout the match, Bradley and Chilwell had several run-ins, but it was Liverpool's full-back who had the last laugh. After giving Chilwell a hard time during their league match at Anfield earlier this month, where Bradley scored his first senior goal for the club, he threatened to do the same at Wembley.

The young 20-year-old consistently took on his opponent with the ball, forcing Chilwell to make a series of increasingly desperate tackles as the game progressed.

Chilwell responded by pushing Bradley, trying to provoke a reaction from the young player. Although Bradley's teammates eventually came to his aid, the rivalry between the two players continued.
