LIVERPOOL beat Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday as Jurgen Klopp’s side took another huge stride towards winning their first-ever Premier League title.

In an even game, Sadio Mane put Liverpool ahead in the second half and moments later Mohamed Salah scored a Goal of the Season contender from distance to seal the win. Eden Hazard missed two glorious chances after that, but Liverpool held on for victory.

With the win, Liverpool moved two points clear at the top of the table on 85 points, although they have played a game more than second-place Man City. Chelsea remained on 66 points in fourth place, but their hopes of finishing in the top four took a hit.

Liverpool started brightly and Mane whipped in a cross, which found Salah at the back post, but his shot on goal was saved by Kepa.

Hazard was caught by both Fabinho and Joel Matip early on and forced Alisson into a low save, while Naby Keita pushed an effort towards danger but Kepa again saved comfortably.
