Key Events
22:09KEY EVENT
FULL-TIME! Liverpool 5-3 Chelsea
They gave it a go but that defending remains a huge concern.
90'Alan Smith
Added time
Five minutes to go.
88'Alan Smith
More changes
Emerson on for Alonso. Mane and Firmino are off, Origi and Minamino are on for Liverpool.
85'KEY EVENT
GOAL! Liverpool 5-3 Chelsea (Oxlade-Chamberlain)
From the free kick Liverpool counterattack and Robertson's cross is dummied by Jones, allowing Oxlade-Chamberlain to finish past Kepa.
83'Alan Smith
Gomez booked
For a foul on Pulisic.
83'Alan Smith
Fireworks
Not on the pitch but from supporters outside Anfield.
78'Alan Smith
Liverpool sub
Salah's work is done. Oxlade-Chamberlain is on.
74'Alan Smith
Superlatives aplenty
Abraham forces Van Dijk and Gomez into an error, allowing Hudson-Odoi to collect the loose ball before sending a lopping cross towards the American near the penalty spot. With his back to goal he controls before turning and firing high into the net. Incredible.
73'KEY EVENT
GOAL! Liverpool 4-3 Chelsea (Pulisic)
What a player.
21:42Oliver Harbord
Subs changing the game
The question will now be about why Pulisic didn't end up starting the game. He has changed the outlook of the match, as have the other subs.
Liverpool's defence has something to think about and the ball over the top is looking dangerous. Certainly Chelsea aren't out of this one just yet.
66'Alan Smith
Double Liverpool sub
Jones and Milner are on, Wijnaldum and Keita are off.
64'Alan Smith
Pulisic close
What an impact the American has made already. He beats the offside trap to chest down a James cross but shoots narrowly wide.
62'KEY EVENT
GOAL! Liverpool 4-2 Chelsea (Abraham)
Oh this is beautiful from Pulisic, who dribbles past four Liverpool players before sending a low cross past Van Dijk and to Abraham, who finishes nicely. Why didn't he start?
59'Alan Smith
Triple change
Abraham, Hudson-Odoi and Pulisic are on, Giroud, Willian, Mount are off.
58'Alan Smith
Salah close again
He dribbles clear after an Alonso mistake but Zouma recovers well to block the shot.
21:28Alan Smith
Familiar failings - again
From a wide area again as Alexaner-Arnold's cross from the right drops between Rudiger and Azpilicueta, where Firmino arrives to power past Kepa.
55'Alan Smith
GOAL! Liverpool 4-1 Chelsea (Firmino)
That's all, folks.
52'Alan Smith
Salah close
From a corner, he fires straight at Kepa who does save.
50'Alan Smith
Salah wide
The Egyptian mishits after a lovely one-two with Firmino, dragging his shot badly wide after opening the Chelsea defence with ease.
21:19Alan Smith
Restarted!
We are back underway.
21:04Alan Smith
Half-time! Liverpool 3-1 Chelsea
That's the final act of the first half. Chelsea are still in this but it had looked very, very bleak
47'KEY EVENT
GOAL! Liverpool 3-1 Chelsea (Giroud)
Willian is denied by Alisson but the Frenchman is there to bundle in the rebound. Game on.
45'Alan Smith
Three minutes added on
Chelsea need the break. They are all over the shop.
43'Alan Smith
Familiar failing
That's Chelsea's 10th concession from a corner. Giroud tries to head clear from the near post but it is deflected into Wijnaldum's path and he fires past Kepa, who looks like a statue.
43'Alan Smith
GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Chelsea (Wijnaldum)
And it's from a corner. A defensive shocker.
38'KEY EVENT
GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea (Alexander-Arnold)
Another stunner from the full back as he bends a beautiful free kick around the wall and into the net. Kepa barely moves. It's close to a carbon copy of his effort at Stamford Bridge last autumn.
36'Alan Smith
A slump
Chelsea have lost that early zest since Keita's goal. They re not really finding Giroud, instead hitting long diagonals to the wing backs.
32'Alan Smith
Mount scores...
But it is immediately ruled out for offside. VAR checks and agrees with the initial decision.
31'Alan Smith
Liverpool corner
Salah turns Rudiger inside out before the German recovers to nudge the all out of play. It is taken deeply and Wijnaldum heads straight at Kepa.
29'Alan Smith
Now Liverpool in control
A good break see Salah try to find Firmino with Zouma scrambling but the Brazilian's touch is poor and the Blues are given a let off.
