Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League latest updates and ...

Matchwinner Curtis Jones is first to speak to Sky.

“We came away with a win, it’s the most important thing obviously,” he says.

“I had it in my mind, if I can keep Cole [Palmer] quiet then that’s a large part of the game. 

On the penalties, he says: “I never dive, I felt the contact, so I went down”.

“If you want to play in this team, you’ve got to run, you’ve got to have energy, you’ve got to help out. 

On his goal, he adds: “There’s been times when I’ve arrived in the box and it’s been a first-time one. I thought it was going to come and it did, and I was fortunate enough. I got the goal.” He finishes by calling his newborn daughter “a little dream”.

That result means Liverpool return to the top of the league table. The Reds sit on 21 points, one above Manchester City and four above Arsenal.

Chelsea miss the chance to enter the top three, and they stay sixth, on 14 points.

So, an entertaining match comes to an end at Anfield and Liverpool return to the top of the Premier League table.

The Reds probably deserved the win in the end, though Chelsea produced a good performance to take them all the way. However, in attack, Chelsea couldn’t create enough and paid the price for a couple of defensive lapses.

Arne Slot’s side have answered yet another question thrown at them, and if they carry on like this, they may work themselves into the title conversation.

FULL-TIME!

The referee brings the match to an end and Liverpool return to the top of the table!

Whisltes around Anfield as Chelsea come forward, but the attack breaks down after a foul from Nunez. That one was harsh.

Chelsea mount what must be a final attack...the ball is squared to Gusto but his shot is blocked!

Liverpool have a rare attack and Salah threads it to the overlapping Diaz, but he’s flagged for offside.

From the Chelsea counter, Gomez slides in brilliantly to cut the pass out, and Liverpool come forward again. The attack is led by Diaz, who weaves into the box before cutting outside and curling an effort past the far post.

Chelsea are in possession but it’s a little too pedestrian to threaten the home side. They do fashion a half-chance though, as Neto clips a ball towards the back post. Nkunku is running in but he has to stretch too much as he gets a foot to it, and he can only direct it behind.

Palmer skips past a challenge but is brought down by Mac Allister, and it’ll be a set-piece in dangerous territory for Chelsea.

Palmer delivers the cross but Veiga heads over from about six yards!

Liverpool do mount a rare attack and it ends with Caicedo committing a foul midway into the Chelsea half.

There’ll be an additional seven minutes at Anfield! Liverpool throw forward the men for the free-kick when the board goes up, but the set-piece comes to nothing.
