Liverpool Beat Chelsea: A brilliant performance from Mohammad Salah guides The Reds to top of the Premier League table. Read below for more.

Liverpool Beat Chelsea: Liverpool's dream start to the season sees them pass their first stern test of the season in the form of an in-form Chelsea side, as The Reds win 2-1 against The Blues at their fortress — the iconic Anfield on Sunday.

With the win, Liverpool see off the pressure surmounted on them by Manchester City with thier win against Wolves earlier in the day, and now go on top of the table with 21 points in 8 games.

Arne Slot's men came into the fixture knowing that any sort of error leading to drop of points will place Manchester City above them in th table. From the kick-off itself, the home side looked well-disciplined in their backline and potent up-front, and managed to break the deadlock in the 29th minute via a Mohammad Salah penalty.

Liverpool went into the first-half with a one-goal lead but Chelsea managed to equalise in the second half as Nicolas Jackson scored in the 48th minute, but only three minutes later, Liverpool found their goal that proved to be the winner, as Mohammad Salah assisted Curtis Jones in the 51st minute.

Mohammad Salah Joins An Elite List With Goal Contributions During Win Vs Chelsea

Mohammad Salah is arguably Liverpool's greatest-ever transfer, as the Egyptian who came as a speedy winger from Serie A outfit AS Roma went on to become the 'Egyptian King' and legend of Liverpool FC, as his mesmerising performances over the years have already truly bashed the statements stating the winger as a 'one season wonder'.

Mohammad Salah scored his 162nd Premier League goal and has now gone level with veteran Jermain Defoe as the joint-ninth highest goalscorer in the history of the league.

Also, with his assist for Curtis Jones, the Egyptian has now registered 160 goals and 72 assists for Liverpool and goes past former Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero up to sixth in the all-time list of goal contributions for a single club in the Premier League history.
