Liverpool secured a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, as Arne Slot’s side reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League. The first half was a fast-paced but largely uneventful affair, until Curtis Jones made a crucial block on Cole Palmer and then earned a penalty after surging into the Chelsea box. Mohamed Salah calmly converted from the spot, giving Liverpool the momentum. Cody Gakpo had a goal disallowed just before the break.
The second half began in similarly frantic fashion, with Chelsea quickly equalizing through Nicolas Jackson, who finished off a superb pass from Moises Caicedo. However, the Blues’ joy was short-lived, as Jones capitalized on a Salah cross just minutes later, poking the ball past Sanchez to restore Liverpool’s lead.
The remainder of the game was less action-packed, with few clear chances for either side. As seven minutes of added time ticked away, Liverpool’s defense held strong against Chelsea’s late pressure, ensuring they claimed all three points.
