Mo Salah Stars In Liverpool Win<\/h2>\n

Chelsea made a strong start on their trip to Anfield, having the majority of possession and creating some strong chances through Nicolas Jackson.<\/p>\n

Controversy came within the opening 45 minutes after Tosin Adarabioyo received a yellow card<\/a> for a foul that was extremely similar to William Saliba’s red card offence against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

However, it was Liverpool who drew first blood as Mo Salah scored from the penalty spot following a clumsy foul by Levi Colwill on Curtis Jones.<\/p>\n

Things looked to be going from bad to worse for the visitors, as Liverpool were awarded a second penalty for another foul on Curtis Jones by Robert Sanchez – but the decision was overturned by VAR.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot’s side had the ball in the back of the net late in the first half, however, Cody Gakpo’s strike was flagged for offside in the build-up.<\/p>\n

Chelsea finally got what their performance deserved in the early stages of the second half, as Nicolas Jackson slotted the ball into the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Originally, the officials deemed the goal to be offside however a VAR review showed that the Chelsea striker was being kept onside by Ibrahim Konate’s trailing leg.<\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca’s side were not back in the game for long, as Liverpool regained the lead just minutes after Jackson’s strike – thanks to a Curtis Jones strike.<\/p>\n

Chelsea continued to be a threat in the second-half as Christopher Nkunku was inches away from converting a Pedro Neto cross.<\/p>\n
