The game started with Liverpool showing their attacking prowess, with Diogo Jota opening the scoring after a precise pass from Conor Bradley.
Bradley, making only his second Premier League start of the campaign, had a night to remember, scoring his first goal for Liverpool with a fine finish.
Liverpool continued to dominate in the second half, with summer signing Dominic Szoboszlai adding a third goal with a powerful header from Bradley’s cross.
Despite Chelsea’s efforts, they were unable to contain Liverpool’s relentless pressure, with Luis Diaz adding a fourth goal late in the game.
Despite a consolation goal from Christopher Nkunku, who capitalized on a rare opportunity for Chelsea, it wasn’t a scratch on Liverpool’s victory.
One of the standout moments of the match was Nunez’s unfortunate luck in hitting the woodwork four times, setting a new record for striking the bar or post in a single game.
Meanwhile, Chelsea had their grievances, feeling they should have been awarded penalties for fouls on Conor Gallagher and Nkunku by Virgil van Dijk.
