Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 in Permier League

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool got better of Antonio Conte's Chelsea last night (September 16) as the Reds beat the Blues 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Tuesday's game will also see Conte continuing with David Luiz, who returned to London after spending two years with Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain, at the back as injured John Terry is expected to return for Chelsea's Premier League game against Arsenal on Saturday.

While Liverpool may not be sitting at the top of the Premier League table after picking up ten points in five games, they are top of the Premier League "distance covered" table. Adam Lallana, you lucky boy. The Chelsea defence went to sleep and Lovren was left unmarked at the back post to skilfully prod home on the half-volley.

Diego Costa scored for Chelsea.

The visitors started the match on the front foot, with Daniel Sturridge's curling effort initially slipping from the grasp of Thibaut Courtois, but the Chelsea goalkeeper quickly recovered.

The goal should have given the hosts a lease of life, but it was Liverpool that regained control by slowing the game down and keeping possession shrewdly.

US rig count down 2 this week to 506
The tally of gas rigs fell by three to 89, and miscellaneous rigs fell by one, taking the total count down two to 506. The total count is lower by 336 from a year earlier, while the oil-only is down by 225.

Joel Matip dived in and failed to stop Nemanja Matic reaching the byline, where he dug out a pass which the Spain worldwide striker fired into the back of the net.

The striker then had a great chance to level four minutes later, swivelling on the ball before shooting straight at Mignolet from 15 metres, but if Chelsea were hoping to lay siege to the Liverpool goal in the closing stages, it never materialised.

That new-found energy quickly fizzled out, though, and Liverpool looked unsafe on the counter-attack, Courtois getting down to his left to keep out a header from substitute Divock Origi in the 81st minute.

The defeat was Conte's first since taking charge of the Blues and the former Juventus boss was disappointed with the two goals his side conceded.

After back-to-back defeats, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has urged midfielder Paul Pogba to forget about his world-record transfer fee and play his natural game.

Using his opposite number last night, Jurgen Klopp, as an example, a new coach needs to adjust to a new league, a new country with a different culture to the one he is used to. It's important to understand that every single game is tough. In the second half they invested more and we had to react to it so it was hard.
