VAR Denies Chelsea Equaliser As Liverpool Win 2-1 At Stamford Bridge

Frank Lampard’s boys were beaten at home 2-1 by league leaders, Liverpool, in Sunday’s Premier League feature.

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold drew first blood in the 14th minute with a magnificent free-kick.

Cesar Azpilicueta’s close-range effort in the 27th minute was, however, ruled out for offside by VAR and Firmino made it two-nil in the 30th minute with a magnificent header to bring the scores to two-nil at the end of the first half.

Chelsea were able to pull one goal back with N’Golo Kanté’s right footed shot from outside the box to the top right corner. Assisted by César Azpilicueta.

“This type of football not a lot of teams can play,” said Klopp.

“But we play in our way, we try to win football games.

“In the end we need to get the points, there is no competition in technical things, it is about the points.”

Tammy Abraham had chances to increase his tally of seven goals this season, particularly when he was denied by Liverpool keeper Adrian when clean through in the first half, but it was left to N’Golo Kante to set up a grandstand finish with a superb strike with 19 minutes to play.
