The most notable match in round 8 of the Premier League was the confrontation between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield. The home team at Anfield chose a cautious style of play and Chelsea did the same.

Therefore, the first 20 minutes of the match were quite peaceful.

After this period, Liverpool started to accelerate and they pressed Levi Colwill’s right wing. The English midfielder looked clumsy and made an unforgivable mistake. In the 26th minute, Jones fell after being touched by Colwill and a penalty was awarded to Liverpool. Salah made no mistake and brought the opening goal.

A few minutes later, Salah crossed for Gakpo to score but the goal was disallowed due to offside. At the end of the half, the referee pointed to the penalty spot for Liverpool but the VAR team intervened and the main referee changed his decision.

Chelsea equalised early in the second half. Jackson beat the offside trap and beat Kelleher in a one-on-one.

But it took the home side just two minutes to regain the lead. Salah crossed the ball and Jones pounced on it. His first step wasn’t great, but it was enough to deflect the ball into the net.

It seemed like these two goals would help both sides attack fiercely, but the reality was different. Liverpool tried to slow down the pace of the match while Chelsea were too slow in their attacks. In the end, Liverpool won against Chelsea and stood at the top of the rankings.
