Highlights video: Liverpool vs Chelsea what An amazing games and a great day for Chelsea defense .
Kai Havertz gave the European champions
an early lead but his opener was cancelled
out by a Mohamed Salah penalty in first-half
stoppage time.
Thomas Tuchel's side started lively and
found themselves ahead midway through
the half. James swung a corner towards
the near post where Havertz arrived and
produced an exquisite header that looped
over Alisson Becker and into the far corner.
Romelu Lukaku had a chance to double
Chelsea's lead but Andy Robertson
deflected it wide, before a moment of
controversy allowed the Reds to level.
James made a goal-line block, only
for VAR to intervene and rule that a
handball had occurred after the ball
deflected off of his leg. A penalty was
correctly awarded, though Chelsea
were unhappy and will feel
aggrieved with the decision to give
James
his marching orders. Salah madone mistake
from 12 yards.
The second half saw Chelsea excellently
keep Liverpool at arm's length, never really
conceding a chance to their hosts despite
the numerical disparity.
