The Chelsea shot-stopper was at his best whenever he was called upon and made a number of crucial saves that helped the visitors stay in the game early on. Willy Caballero is yet to make a solid reputation at Stamford Bridge, but against Liverpool he punched above his weight on a number of occasions at least.

The Argentine, who has lately been associated with comical errors, looked calm and composed between the sticks for Chelsea and his decision making wasn't too bad either. Caballero made a brilliant diving save to deny Naby Keita a goal in the first half, before he managed to hold on to a header from Sadio Mane.

That was not the end of it as he bailed Chelsea out of jail yet again when Christensen's poor back pass was almost converted by Mane, but Caballero decided to make himself big in front of goal and stood his ground to produce a crucial block. An impressive performance from Chelsea's back-up keeper who made sure that the visitors remained in touching distance as they waited for Eden Hazard to run the show in the end.
