Liverpool and Chelsea battled it out at Anfield today.
Arne Slot’s men secured a 2-1 win today which means they sit on top of the Premier League after eight games.
Mo Salah (29′) opened the scoring after Curtis Jones won a penalty following a clumsy challenge from Levi Colwill.
Nicolas Jackson (48′) bagged the equaliser for the Blues just half-time but the lead lasted just three minutes as Jones (51′) darted through and slid the ball past Robert Sánchez.

I wonder if Curtis Jones's name was Kostas James and was Spanish, he would be considered an outstanding player…….
