Liverpool vs Chelsea is always an exciting game and this one, like previous games, didn't disappoint. The Reds were in their first title race for years and were taking Manchester City all the way which made the game against Chelsea in April of 2019, all the more important.

Moreover, many Liverpool fans were nervous about a possible repeat of 2014 when Chelsea all but finished Liverpool's title hopes after a Steven Gerrard slip gifted Demba Ba a goal. But, Jurgen Klopp knew that things had changed dramatically since 2014 and Liverpool were better than ever. And this confidence showed on the pitch.

The opening goal took until the 51st minute to arrive but when it did, the Anfield crowd came alive. The goal came from the ever present Sadio Mane who found himself in the right place at the right time to head home from a Jordan Henderson cross to give Liverpool a much-needed lead. However, the moment of the match came minutes later from Mohamed Salah, a former Chelsea player. The Egyptian picked the ball up before cutting inside and releasing an unstoppable thunderbolt beyond the reach of Chelsea keeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The goal sent the Anfield faithful into delirium who began to sing the name of the goalscorer. The 2-0 victory kept the title race alive as Liverpool avoided a repeat of 2014 with the Salah strike ensuring a memorable Anfield victory.
