Liverpool's Klopp wins battle against Chelsea's Antonio Conte

Liverpool FCLiverpool continued to gather impressive momentum as they inflicted Antonio Conte's first loss as a Chelsea manager with a deserving victory at Stamford Bridge to move into top four.

Chelsea, the prospective winners faced a disappointing result at the hands of Liverpool after losing out 1-2 to them. Boss Jurgen Klopp emerged the winner in the battle between the managers who share many similarities. This was three points, Liverpool fully merited to add to a triumph at arsenal a couple of weeks back. Liverpool were keen to build on the 4-1 thrashing of champions Leicester City last week at Anfield and they over-ran Chelsea to take control by halftime and went on to win the game at the full time.

Klopp's Liverpool taking shape

Liverpool seemed sort of team their manager wants with every passing week as they produced another impressive performance. Liverpool may yet remain on the margins of the title race but victories such as this added to the 4-1 win versus Arsenal and the 1-1 draw versus Tottenham. Liverpool are still a work in progress and still will have questions to answer when they produce performances such as that which saw them lose at Burnley earlier this season - but once again they showed at Stamford Bridge that the charismatic Klopp is taking them in the right direction

Manager's reaction

"It was a satisfying win of course. From the first second, we had unbelievably good movement. We were quick in mind. We did really well. We deserved the lead at half-time. We have to learn how to manage the game plan. So often this season Chelsea scored in the last few seconds with a direct style. But I can't remember too many chances from them. We had a few moments where we weren't so good but that's normal against a good team,” said Klopp after the match.
