1-2: SIX WINS IN SIX FOR LIVERPOOL AS THEY SEE OFF CHELSEA
Liverpool made it six wins from six with a 2-1 triumph at Chelsea, who are still without a home win in the Premier League this season.
Frank Lampard’s men failed to contain the European champions, who benefited from two first-half injuries to a Chelsea defence that never looked comfortable.
Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a thunderbolt before Roberto Firmino rose unmarked to double Liverpool’s lead and there was no way back for Chelsea, despite N’Golo Kante’s sensational solo effort preceding a late rally.
Injuries to Emerson Palmieri and Andreas Christensen compounded Lampard’s woes, while opposite number Jurgen Klopp enjoyed a problem-free afternoon as he became the first Liverpool manager to win three times at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
