Liverpool show they mean business

Chelsea 1 Liverpool 2: Liverpool have put down another vital marker on their long road to a new era as Jordan Henderson’s spectacular goal secured a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and suggested Jurgen Klopp’s men are far more advanced in their evolution than Antonio Conte’s fast starters.

Henderson’s superb 25m effort capped a magnificent first-half performance from Klopp’s side which also featured an opening goal from Dejan Lovren; and not even a Diego Costa strike after the break could deny them fourth place in the Premier League.

“It’s about time I got a goal, but most important is the three points,” said Henderson.
