EPL 2016/17: Chelsea vs Liverpool: 5 Talking Points

Liverpool celebrate their second goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

3. Jordan Henderson was the star for Liverpool

Just when the team needed him the most. The Captain was there.

It was a performance and eventually the goal that a certain Steven Gerrard would have been proud of. Henderson delivered on the big stage as he hardly put a foot wrong in the entire game stamping his authority against Chelsea. It was a captain's performance from Henderson who was doubted by many at the start of the season but has silenced his critics by his recent form.

Henderson had 82 touches in the game and made 68 passed with a passing accuracy of 84%. He also completed 100% of his take-ons and also won 100% of aerial duels and made 4 interceptions in the ninety minutes. It was one of the best days in the office for the England international and probably his best goal ever which ends a run of 20 games without having scored.
