Liverpool delivered another fluent display on Friday night, winning 2-1 at Chelsea to inflict Antonio Conte's first home defeat in 30 league games. It was a fresh reminder of the forceful attacking unit Jurgen Klopp is building, with the Reds dominant for large spells thanks to crisp passing driven by their dynamic midfield quintet.
Chelsea were chasing shadows in the opening half, with their midfield trio unable to cope with the mobility of their opponents, and Klopp boosted his attacking options by pushing both full-backs upfield. As a supplement to main men Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane and Daniel Sturridge, the joker in the pack was Adam Lallana, who was given an advanced role and kept finding promising positions in the final third.
