Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink backs Chelsea for Premier League title after bagging point at Liverpool

Chelsea walked away from Anfield satisfied with a point on Saturday, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes the Blues could launch from here to the title.

Thomas Tuchel's side went ahead through a stunning Kai Havertz but Reece James' red-card flipped the script, with Mo Salah stepping-up to score a penalty after the right-back was judged to have handled on the line.

Despite going down to 10 men the Blues dug in and held-off Salah, Mane and Jota – containing the Reds with the smothering defensive organisation that brought them Champions League glory last season.
