Liverpool consolidated their position at the top of the Premier League table with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over resurgent Chelsea at Anfield. Curtis Jones was instrumental in Liverpool's win, earning a penalty for Mohamed Salah's opener and scoring himself to restore Liverpool's lead after Nicolas Jackson had equalized for Chelsea.
Liverpool is looking more and more like Manchester City’s main title rival after beating resurgent Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday to stay top of the Premier League table.
It was Slot's most significant win at Anfield so far and prevented Chelsea from moving into third place, with the visitors remaining sixth instead. Jones also thought he had earned a second penalty in first-half injury time, but it was overturned after a VAR review judged that Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez got the ball before bundling over the Liverpool player.
Liverpool was the last team other than City to win the title, in 2019-20, and pushed Pep Guardiola’s team to the very end several times under Jurgen Klopp before finishing just fifth two years ago and a distant third last season. It also needed a VAR intervention for the goal to stand, as referee Chris Kavanagh was called to the sideline monitor to review whether Bernardo Silva was interfering with goalkeeper Jose Sa from an offside position.
