Chelsea 0 - 2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match ?
Liverpool travelled to 'potential' title contenders Chelsea in their opening away game in the league and came out deserved winners in a professional, controlled performance.

The Reds, who handed a debut to Thiago off the bench, were comfortable throughout -- despite conceding a penalty which Alisson saved -- and Andreas Christensen's red card, for an utterly stupid foul on Mané, paved their path to a win.

DEFENCE:
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 7

This week has seen Michael Edwards once again stun everyone to secure the near-simultaneous signings of Diogo Jota and Thiago Alcantara. Just as Everton were about to use James Rodriguez to lift the trophy for most new Instagram followers, Liverpool’s recruitment team pulled it out the bag with a player the BBC quite rightly describe as an ‘absolute superstar’. As much as we can all laugh at the Instagram trophy, signing players of this calibre does raise the interesting and exciting …
Why Liverpool signed Diogo Jota

But before that, the challenge was to profile Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah before they moved to Anfield in order to spot trends.
