3. Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson is primarily known for his defensive game, but he showed the other aspects of his skill-set too yesterday. He was one of the three midfielders who started for Liverpool, and he kept pressing the Chelsea defenders incessantly.
The Chelsea defence looked troubled by the high press of Liverpool, and Henderson was in the thick of things. One of his shots got deflected off a Chelsea defender and went out.
Henderson again came to the fore in the second half, as his cross from inside the penalty box was headed in by Mane. It was his second assist of the season.
Henderson adopted a more defensive role after Liverpool scored their second goal. He got into a few tackles, and ensured safety for the Liverpool defence.
The Liverpool captain was eventually substituted, but by then had already produced a very good performance in a crucial match for his team. He has played in 314 matches for Liverpool and continues to be a superb performer for them.
