Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with an entertaining 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Saturday.
Mohamed Salah put Liverpool ahead from the spot after 29 minutes and the home side were awarded another penalty just minutes later when Robert Sanchez brought down Curtis Jones.
The penalty was overturned after a video review, however, with Chelsea then equalizing after the half-time break, with Nicolas Jackson racing clear to beat Caoimhin Kelleher.
Liverpool took only three minutes to restore their lead, however, with the outstanding Jones converting at the far post.
The win continues Arne Slot’s sensational start at Anfield, with the Dutchman becoming the first manager in Liverpool’s history to win 10 of his opening 11 games.
Chelsea club captain Reece James, speaking after the match to Sky Sports, said: “Coming here is always tough. I think we controlled most of the game. They had chances but we had a few chances as well but didn’t take them.
“We are definitely moving in the right direction. The scoreline doesn’t reflect the game.
“If we step back and look at performances and what we are trying to do, we have come a long way. It is still early days, we haven’t been with the manager long.”
Liverpool goalscorer Jones, speaking about the arrival of a new baby, added: “It’s the best thing ever. I’m playing with a smile on my face. It’s a different type of joy.
“I’m hoping my little girl will be proud and my girlfriend is at home with a smile on her face. I was in the spare room last night but she’s a little dream – you just change her, feed her and back to sleep.
“But I thought it was wise to stay in the spare room, so I was wide awake and had lots of energy.”
