Liverpool moved back to the top of the Premier League after beating Chelsea 2-1.
Curtis Jones’ cool finish in the second half was enough to secure another crucial victory for Arne Slot’s side and cancel out an equaliser from Nicolas Jackson.
The hosts had taken the lead from the penalty spot through Mohamed Salah, Levi Colwill having brought down the impressive Jones with a clumsy challenge.
Referee John Brooks later pointed to the spot for a second time after Robert Sanchez was adjudged to have fouled Jones – but the decision was overturned.
Jackson broke beyond Virgil van Dijk shortly after the half-time restart to draw Chelsea level but Jones’ near post strike proved enough for the new league leaders.
