Liverpool resists a lively Chelsea and takes home the three points up for grabs while still remaining unbeaten in the Premier League
If Manchester City’s victory against Watford on Saturday showed that the champions have no intention of giving up their primacy without a fight, Liverpool’s climb in one of the Premier League’s most difficult away games has shown once again that the Reds are able to compete with their opponents for the title fight.
The visiting team took only 15 minutes to take the lead and 30 to take the total command of the game. The home side had the chance at the 24th when Azpilicueta failed to equalize by shooting straight at Adrian. A goal from the hosts is canceled by Mount VAR for offside.
The Chelsea shortens the distances to the 71st with Kante but it is not enough to catch the tie.
The scoreboard says Chelsea 1 Liverpool 2 and for Klopp it’s time to smile again after the heavy defeat of the Champions League against Napoli.
