Kai Havertz's looping header put the visitors in front
before Reece James was sent-off in first-half stoppage time for handball on his
own goal line and Mohamed Salah converted the resulting penalty.
The home side suddenly woke up and took the battle to
Chelsea.
Liverpool got a deserved equaliser from the penalty spot on
three minutes added time in the first half.
Reece James had handed the ball in the 18-yard box and was
issued a straight red card as the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
Mohamed Salah won the battle of wills and sent an
unstoppable penalty past Edouard Mendy into the bottom left corner to make it
1-1.
Liverpool mounted the pressure in the second half but
Chelsea have Mendy to thank as he stood solidly in post to deny Liverpool
several chances.
The home side were the better side, garnering 65 percent
ball possessions, 23 goal attempts and eight shots on goal.
Chelsea, with 35 percent ball possessions, six goal attempts
and three shots on goal defended for most part of the second half and were luck
not to have conceded goals.
