The Liverpool team defeated Chelsea 4-1 at home in the derby of the intermediate round of the Premier League. At Anfield, Jurgen Klopp's men completely dominated the pitch and scored four goals, with the team's striker breaking a record in Premier League history by hitting the post four times in one game.
The main credit for Liverpool's convincing success was the team's young defender Connor Bradley. The 21-year-old right-back scored his first goal for the club and assisted two other goals by Diogo Jota and Dominik Soboslay. At the very end of the first half, Nunez missed a penalty after hitting the post, and in the 71st minute Christopher Nkunku pulled one goal back for the Blues, but Luis Diaz ended the dispute in the 79th minute.
The Reds thus restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League standings.
In another game last night, Manchester City beat Burnley 3-1 at home with two goals from Julian Alvarez and one from Rodry. Thus, the "citizens" are five points behind the Merseysiders, having played a game less.
In Wednesday's last game, Tottenham beat Brentford 3:2 at home. /BGNES
