Did not expect a victory at Anfield. Did not get one either. Not sure if I’m at the bargaining or the acceptance stage of my football grief. Apathy perhaps? Unfortunately, Chelsea didn’t seem to expect a victory at Anfield either, despite the words of Mauricio Pochettino before the game. The words of Mauricio Pochettino after the game also reflected the sad reality of it all. Outplayed, outfought, outthought, outgunned, out-pretty-much-everythinged. The penalty shouts may have changed the outcome (goals almost always do change games), but given how the rest of the 90+ minutes played out, it’s hard to grasp at…
Jurgen Klopp has alleviated fears Alexis Mac Allister could be set for a spell on the sidelines after limping off with a knee injury in the closing stages of Liverpool’s 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea on Wednesday night at Anfield. The Argentine, who was rested for Sunday’s FA Cup triumph over Norwich City, returned to the starting XI and played the full 90 minutes as the Reds restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League thanks to goals from Diogo Jota, Conor Bradley, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz. In the final minutes of the game though, Mac Allister was…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says it is a credit to their academy players that his side have emerged unscathed from a difficult January to lead the Premier League by five points. The 4-1 victory over Chelsea was the Reds’ sixth win in seven matches in the month, with the other a draw in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Fulham having gone into the game with a lead from the home tie. During that period the side have been without three senior full-backs, as well as the likes of midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister at varying times and, of course, Mohamed Salah. Deputy right-back…
It’s officially deadline day – but it doesn’t seem likely that there will be much transfer activity at Liverpool. The Reds did plenty of business back in the summer window and it’s already paid dividends: Jurgen Klopp’s men are clear at the top of the Premier League and in contention to win both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup after a really strong start to the season. With Klopp announcing his intention to stand down in the summer, a flurry of activity at the end of the current campaign is likely as Liverpool rebuild under a new manager, but…
Mauricio Pochettino refused to blame Chelsea’s 4-1 defeat at Liverpool on referee Paul Tierney’s decision not to award his side multiple penalties. The Londoners had no answer for Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield on Wednesday night as goals from Diogo Jota, Conor Bradley, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz condemned the Stamford Bridge outfit to their joint-heaviest defeat of the Premier League season. However, the Reds’ win had a tinge of controversy about it as Chelsea were denied several penalties in either half, first with Conor Gallagher going to ground after a coming together with Virgil van Dijk before Ben Chilwell…
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has claimed his recent comments about his future at Anfield were exaggerated and he remains 100 per cent committed to the club; the winter transfer window closes on Thursday at 11pm in England and 11.30pm in Scotland Following Jurgen Klopp’s shock announcement on Friday he was leaving Liverpool, Van Dijk was asked whether he saw himself being part of the next era at the club next season. At the time, the Liverpool captain appeared non committal, saying: “That’s a big question. I don’t know.” However, Van Dijk has since clarified his comments, saying in an…
This page is now closed. Thanks for joining us. These were the updates as Liverpool beat Chelsea in the Premier League on Wednesday, January 31. It’s a very proud moment, something I dreamed of for a long time. I feel like it’s a dream. It’s unbelievable,” Conor Bradley told TNT Sports. “I just couldn’t believe my goal went in. I didn’t know what to do. I went over to the corner and did a knee slide. It was brilliant, so it was. “It was unfortunate the way Trent got injured. I just had to try to take my chance. I…
Premier League leaders Liverpool stepped up their title bid with a 4-1 rout of Chelsea, while Erling Haaland made his Manchester City comeback as the champions beat Burnley 3-1 on Wednesday. Jurgen Klopp’s shock revelation that he will step down as Liverpool boss at the end of the season has done nothing to stop the momentum of a team challenging for silverware in four competitions. The Reds crushed Norwich 5-2 in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday and were equally ruthless when Chelsea visited Anfield for the second game of Klopp’s long goodbye. First-half goals from Diogo Jota and…

Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz were also on target, as Liverpool produced a performance to remember.

Jürgen Klopp was left singing the praises of Conor Bradley once again after a phenomenal performance in Liverpool’s win over Chelsea. The Northern Ireland international was also credited alongside two other players for maintaining the Reds’ lead in the Premier League in recent weeks. Bradley was the architect of Liverpool’s 4-1 win as Chelsea was thrashed at Anfield. Having set up Diogo Jota for the opener, the 20-year-old then fired in his first senior goal for the club to put the hosts in complete control. Darwin Núñez missed the chance to extend the lead from the penalty spot just before…
