#4 Chelsea 1-3 Liverpool – English Premier League
Trending
Jurgen Klopp’s first Premier League victory came against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea, against whom his predecessor Brendan Rodgers, did not have a great record. Liverpool were forced to play with Firmino up front due to injuries to their front line strikers.
Liverpool were off to the worst possible start as Chelsea were 1-0 up in 4 minutes at the Bridge through a Ramires’ header after some poor marking from Moreno. The man for the big occasion, Philippe Coutinho, equalised with a spectacular strike late into first-half stoppage time with his weaker foot.
After conceding the first goal Liverpool’s defence looked much better and Hazard, who was anonymous on the day, had to be subbed off before the hour mark. Coutinho put Liverpool in front in the 74th minute after his shot deflected off Terry into the net. 9 minutes later, Benteke who came on in the second half, scored to put the game to bed.
Klopp’s first PL victory against the then defending champions, whose torrid start to the season continued.
