EPL: Liverpool Reclaim Top Spot with 2-1 Win Over Chelsea

Arne Slot's Liverpool Continue Perfect Start with Chelsea Victory

Chelsea, now winless in ten matches against Liverpool...

Liverpool return to the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Chelsea, courtesy of goals from Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones.

Liverpool regained their Premier League lead with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Anfield, extending Arne Slot's impressive start. The Dutch manager became the first Liverpool boss to win 10 of his first 11 games.

Mohamed Salah's 29th-minute penalty opened the scoring after Levi Colwill fouled Curtis Jones. Chelsea equalized through Nicolas Jackson three minutes into the second half, but Jones restored Liverpool's lead just three minutes later, steering Salah's cross past Robert Sanchez.

Slot's Liverpool has maintained the success of Jurgen Klopp's era, showcasing a more measured approach. This win, despite being workmanlike, solidifies their title credentials ahead of next Sunday's clash with Arsenal.

Chelsea, now winless in ten matches against Liverpool, demonstrated improvement under Enzo Maresca but lacked the finishing touch. Moises Caicedo impressed, while Cole Palmer's performance was inconsistent.

Stats:

• Liverpool's 10th win in 11 games under Arne Slot
• Chelsea's first league defeat under Enzo Maresca since the opening weekend
• Curtis Jones' 4th Premier League goal this season
