Liverpool vs Chelsea player ratings: Mohamed Salah, Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane star in crucial win

Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield to return to the top of the table. 

A cagey first half gave way to an open second where both teams had chances score.

Jordan Henderson set up Sadio Mane to break the deadlock before Mohamed Salah’s stunning strike added a second.

Eden Hazard had excellent opportunities to get Chelsea back into the game but he saw them either saved or hit the woodwork.

The result means Liverpool move two points above City in the title race, having played one game more than the champions.

Take a look through the gallery above to see how every player rated.
