The sound of Anfield captured Liverpool’s display to perfection. Jörgensen was deputising for Robert Sánchez, absent due to concussion protocols, and was poorly positioned as Gravenberch’s effort sailed over him and almost into the middle of his goal.

It was the ninth goal Chelsea have conceded in the opening 10 minutes of a Premier League game this season, the club’s highest tally in the competition.Virgil van Dijk should have made it two from Dominik Szoboszlai’s deep cross but volleyed over from six yards out when left unmarked by Fernández. Giorgi Mamardashvili, back in the Liverpool goal having recovered from a knee injury, saved the converted winger’s first attempt and was quick off his line to smother the second.

Fofana made it clear in the celebrations that he did not get a touch on the free-kick and that it was Fernández’s goal. Fernández could have had a second when played through by Caicedo but his first-time shot was saved by Mamardashvili.The visitors did have the ball in the net from a well-worked routine early in the second half but Cole Palmer’s conversion was disallowed for a close offside against Cucurella.
