Liverpool took a major step in their bid for a first-ever Premier League title as the side cruised to a 2-0 win over Chelsea.
Liverpool overcame a major hurdle in their title challenge this season, as they finally parted ways with the ghost of 2014.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are now leading in the Premier League title race again, as Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield. Goals from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah secured victory for the Merseyside club, as they overtook Manchester City at the top of the table.
Chelsea lost a huge chance to strengthen their position for a top-4 position. The side now risks going down to fifth position as Manchester United have a game in hand against Maurizio Sarri’s side.
Liverpool, meanwhile, may have played a game more than Manchester City but face a relatively easy set of fixtures in their rest of the league season. Pep Guardiola’s side faces Manchester United later this month.
This is how Twitter reacted as Liverpool registered a win:
