Curtis Jones scored the decisive goal as Liverpool secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday to remain at the top of the Premier League table.
Softfootball highlights that Liverpool showed great resilience to reclaim the lead moments after Chelsea had equalised, maintaining their impressive start to the league campaign with another crucial three points.
The Reds took the lead just before the half-hour mark after Levi Colwill brought down Curtis Jones inside the penalty area.
Mohamed Salah confidently converted the resulting spot-kick after a brief delay, during which Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson was shown a yellow card.
Chelsea responded strongly after the break and drew level through Jackson, whose effort was initially ruled out for offside before a VAR review confirmed the goal.
However, the visitors’ celebrations were short-lived as Liverpool restored their advantage just three minutes later.
Jones arrived at the back post to finish from close range, capping an excellent individual performance with what proved to be the match-winning goal.
Chelsea searched for another equaliser in the closing stages but Liverpool defended resolutely to secure all three points in front of their home supporters.
The victory keeps Arne Slot’s side at the summit of the Premier League standings, while Chelsea were left to reflect on missed opportunities despite a spirited display at Anfield.
