Timo Werner put Chelsea ahead after a great pass by Jorginho. The referee, after a VAR review, disallowed the goal for a very tight offside. Alisson breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of his goal and not getting there.

Liverpool very nearly trailed in the first half. The Reds are going on a terrible run at Anfield and they thought they had fallen behind against Chelsea.

In the 23rd minute, Werner took advantage of a spectacular pass by Jorginho to beat Alisson to the ball and make it 0-1.

However, the goal was disallowed after a VAR review. It was extremely close and the 3D line gave it offside. Ziyech was definitely offside, but he was not involved.
