The team "Chelsea" remaining in the minority did not resist "Liverpool" © JumpStory

On Sunday, the central match of the second round of the Premier League took place at Stamford Bridge stadium, where Chelsea hosted Liverpool. Frank Lampard's team still could not match the country's champions, and Liverpool secured a victory with a score of 2:0. In the first half, the guests threatened the opponents' goal more often, but Chelsea managed to neutralize their attacks. However, in the 45th minute, the hosts were left to play outnumbered when Andreas Christensen was sent off for his last man foul. Liverpool broke through right after the break, in the 50th minute, when Sadio Mane headed the ball into the net. The same Senegalese player took advantage of a rough mistake by Kepa in the 54th minute to double his team's advantage. In the 75th minute, Chelsea had a great opportunity to reduce the deficit, but Jorginho failed to convert the penalty kick. After this victory, Liverpool settled in fourth place in the league table. Other results: Leicester 4:2 Burnley, Newcastle 0:3 Brighton.
