Highlight Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea
Entering the match at Anfield with a must-win mission, Liverpool immediately attacked from the start.
While Liverpool continuously pushed the ball forward at breakneck speed, Chelsea proactively lowered their formation, with Hazard at the top always ready to open up the pace to counterattack at any time.
The match was full of speed and excitement that the two teams performed throughout the first half, but the most important thing was that the goal had not yet come.
Entering the second half, the situation of the match suddenly changed dramatically.
Less than two minutes later, the second goal came to The Kop.
Conceding two goals so quickly, Chelsea now pressed forward.
Unable to score a goal to shorten the score, Chelsea was almost helpless in the remaining 30 minutes of the second half. On the opposite side, 2 goals were more than enough for Liverpool to reclaim the top spot from Man City.
