Liverpool have returned to the top of the Premier League table thanks to a 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday.
The Reds had dropped into second place after Manchester City came from behind to win 2-1 at Wolves earlier in the day.
Victory takes Liverpool one point ahead of City and four clear of Arsenal, who they face at the Emirates next weekend.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Curtis Jones was tripped inside the box.
Three minutes after the restart, Nicolas Jackson calmly slotted home Moises Caicedo’s through-ball to make it 1-1.
Salah was instrumental in the winning goal, setting up Jones to prod the ball past Robert Sanchez.
Arne Slot’s men now have 21 points from eight fixtures.
Chelsea are now seven points off the top down in sixth, but there was plenty cause for optimism for the Blues from a performance that stretched Liverpool to their limits.
