Chelsea secured a crucial win in the race for Champions League qualification as they beat Liverpool to move into the Premier League top four.
Mason Mount was the hero on the night, scoring the game’s only goal with a terrific finish from the edge of the box after a superb pass from N’Golo Kante.
Prior to that, the Blues had been denied an opener by more VAR controversy, Timo Werner’s effort ruled out for offside by virtue of his arm being outstretched beyond the last defender.
No matter, it was Thomas Tuchel’s side who were by far and away the better side in the first half, and then defended well when required against a blunt Liverpool attack.
The defending champions have now lost five home league games in a row - the first such run in their illustrious history.
