The “reds” beat Chelsea with a great performance. The hosts are weakened from the start – a Liverpool star becomes a match winner. Thiago is also used.
Clear Liverpool FC sign. The reigning English champions clearly won the Premier League’s top game against Chelsea FC 2-0 (0-0) and thus celebrated their second win in their second game of the season. With his double (50th, 54th), Sadio Mané became the winner of the match for the dominant “Reds”, in which Thiago, from Bayern also made his debut. Chelsea, on the other hand, only woke up in the final stages of Kai Havertz and Timo Werner’s home debut, and had weakened early on when Andreas Christensen (45) was sent off.
Liverpool largely determined the game in London. Chelsea made some dangerous counterattacks but lost defender Christensen shortly before the break. The Dane received the red card for an emergency brake against Mané. After that, it only worked a little bit, and goalkeeper “Blues” Kepa made a serious mistake before the 2-0 loss when he put the ball directly in front of Mané’s feet. A quarter of an hour before the end, Liverpool newcomer Thiago fouled Chelsea striker Werner. But Jorginho missed with the penalty due (75th) to Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
Newcomers from London Werner and Havertz await their first goals for the Blues. Surprisingly, German defender Antonio Rüdiger was not on the Chelsea squad. Coach Frank Lampard had already left the central defender on the bench on Monday in the Blues’ 3-1 (1-0) win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
