The house facet made it three one-goal victories in a row within the Premier League as they triumphed 2-1, though they needed to endure just a few scares in seven minutes of second half stoppage time because the Blues threw all the pieces that they had at a useless pursuit of an equaliser.
Nunez and Slot lose the plot
Within the ultimate couple of minutes at Anfield, Liverpool had possession close to the guests’ penalty space and regarded comfy, just for a tender foul to be given in opposition to Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan’s response left us in little question as to what he considered the choice from John Brooks, with the striker punching the air in entrance of him in a match of rage because the free kick was awarded.
His ire was mirrored on the touchline by the normally calm and composed Slot, who had his heads in his arms after which shook his arms furiously as he voiced his excessive displeasure over the foul being given.
A busy day for the officers
It was a busy night for the officers at Anfield, who awarded Liverpool a first-half penalty, overturned one other spot kick that the Reds ought to’ve had and handed Nicolas Jackson an equaliser after VAR intervened to permit his aim when he had, in reality, been onside.
There was additionally a possible pink card shout for Tosin Adarabioyo within the first seven minutes after the Chelsea defender impeded Diogo Jota when the Portuguse ahead was clear by way of on aim, avoiding a pink card for the same offence to the one which noticed William Saliba despatched off for Arsenal yesterday.
