Liverpool made a strong return to the Premier League, securing a 2-1 victory against Chelsea at home.
Staying at the top of the EPL table, Liverpool leads Manchester City by a single point, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones.
Salah converted a penalty in the first half, reinforcing the Reds’ strong performance early in the match, but they faced challenging moments after halftime.
Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson managed to bring the score level, yet Jones quickly responded to secure the win for Liverpool.
Coach Arne Slot praised his team’s determination to achieve a successful result following the October international break.
As they prepare for crucial upcoming matches, he emphasized the importance of this win against Chelsea for their momentum.
“There were many tough games, but this one might have been the most challenging due to their quality players and tactical setup,” he stated, referencing BBC Sport.
“We had to put in a lot of effort to secure this victory. Our defense showed tremendous strength and commitment across the team.”
Liverpool’s next match is a UEFA Champions League away fixture against RB Leipzig on October 23, followed by an important EPL home game against Arsenal next weekend.
