WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Mount's strike takes Chelsea up to fourth

Mason Mount scored a superb goal as Chelsea triumphed 1-0 at Anfield for their first win there since 2014, as they climbed into the top four.

The Blues were the more dangerous side from the start, with Timo Werner twice going close early on and then having a goal overturned for offside after a Video Assistant Referee review.

Instead, it was Mount who gave Chelsea their deserved lead in the 42nd minute, cutting inside from the left corner of the box and whipping a clinical finish into the bottom-right corner.

The visitors continued to threaten after the break, with Ben Chilwell forcing a save from Alisson and Hakim Ziyech’s follow-up being blocked on the line by Andrew Robertson.

Liverpool’s Diogo Jota made his return from injury after a three-month lay-off, but the Reds finished the match with just one attempt on target, while it took another Alisson save to stop Werner making it 2-0.

Chelsea, who are unbeaten in their 10 matches under Thomas Tuchel in all competitions, leapfrog West Ham United and Everton.

Liverpool, who suffered their fifth successive home league defeat, drop to seventh.
