Here are the observations from the match.
Mohamed Salah shines against former-club
Here we are again; another Liverpool game, another goal for Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger produced another impressive display for...
Disappointing to once more throw away a lead, but given the team selection and crazy run of fixtures ahead of Liverpool, denying Chelsea a win whilst resting Mane and Firmino may well prove positive in the long run.
Here's how the Reds rated at Anfield.

Liverpool have certainly improved over the last six weeks or so as they look to banish all memory of September 2017 to the history books. Despite a poor showing at Wembley...

Here's how the Jekyll and Hyde Reds fared individually.

A big week for Liverpool started off on the best possible note, as the Reds romped to an easy 3-0 win at Anfield against Southampton. The Saints curse was broken as the Reds finally managed to score against their bogey opponents after four unsuccessful attempts last season.
