Liverpool were again condemned to a home defeat in the Premier League as they lost 1-0 to Chelsea at Anfield on Thursday night.

The Reds, who have picked up only one win in six league matches, are struggling in their race to finish in top four this season.

Chelsea strengthened their case for Champions League qualification witg the big win, with Mason Mount’s 42nd-minute goal making the difference at Anfield.

The Blues were the better side and had an early Timo Werner finish disallowed by the video assistant referee for a fractional offside, before Mount’s effort.

The win took the Thomas Tuchel side, who are now 10 games unbeaten since the arrival of the manager, to fourth spot in the table. Liverpool are four points behind Chelsea in seventh spot.
