Sadio Mane DESTROYS Chelsea as Liverpool star nets quickfire double after being hauled down for Andreas Christensen red card to see Reds cruise to victory - with saved Jorginho penalty and ANOTHER Kepa howler adding to Frank Lampard's woe

Andreas Christensen was sent off, Kepa Arrizabalaga gave the ball to Sadio Mane for the second and Jorginho missed a penalty. From that you might think Chelsea were the architects of their downfall here.

But, no. Liverpool were the better side, and Chelsea played them that way for 90 minutes. Even in the half that saw 11 against 11, Chelsea were looking to contain the champions more than beat them. Their game plan was to smother and, if possible, strike on the counter attack through Timo Werner. At half-time, not one Chelsea player had an average position in the opposing half.
