Enzo Maresca's side gave a decent account of themselves on Merseyside, but players at either end of the pitch came up short in the end
Chelsea suffered their second loss of the Premier League season as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at table-toppers Liverpool on Sunday.
The Blues started the brighter of the two but fell behind in the 29th minute after Mohamed Salah scored from the spot after Levi Colwill foolishly fouled Curtis Jones. The cracks seemingly began to appear after Cody Gakpo tucked the ball home, only for his goal to be ruled out for offside in the build-up shortly after. Jones nearly won his team another spot-kick, but goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was deemed to have got to the ball first before taking out the Liverpool midfielder.
Chelsea responded in fine fashion as Jackson beat the offside trap to grab an equaliser three minutes into the second half. They were level for just over two minutes as Jones flicked the ball by an unconvincing Sanchez following a superb cross from Salah.
As an increasingly tetchy game headed towards its conclusion, the visitors pushed for a goal but Arne Slot's team held on to stay top of the pile while Chelsea dropped to sixth.
