Chelsea fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in a fascinating game at Stamford Bridge. The Blues started the game well but they fell behind on the ninth minute when Trevoh Chalobah’s attempted clearance found Sadio Mane, who rounded Edouard Mendy and slotted the ball in the back of the net.

 

Liverpool doubled their in the 26th minute through top-scorer Mohamed Salah as he beat Mendy at his near post after Trent Alexander-Arnold found him with a spectacular pass on the right.

 

The game then became an end-to-end affair and Chelsea eventually got back into it. Kelleher who did well to punch away Marcos Alonso’s free-kick but it fell to Matteo Kovacic, who struck a superb volley in the 42nd minute.

Chelsea drew level on the stroke of half-time through a goal from Christian Pulisic. The USA international side-footed the ball into the top corner after Ngolo Kante found him in space. The spoils shared means Chelsea remain 2nd and Liverpool 3rd whilst Manchester City are 10 points clear off the table.
