Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE result: Mohamed Salah wonder goal silences Blues to keep Reds in title track

Follow all the action from Anfield as Liverpool seek to banish the memories of 2014

Liverpool v Chelsea: Premier League match preview

Liverpool exorcised the ghosts of 2014 with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea to keep their Premier League title charge on track.

Sadio Mane's header early in the second half was followed moments later by a goal-of-the-season contender from Mohamed Salah and, after two uncharacteristic misses by Eden Hazard, the Reds regained the top spot they had lost 90 minutes earlier to Manchester City.

Salah's goal was worthy of winning a title let alone a game, but for now Liverpool will settle for the latter. A two-point lead over City, winners at Crystal Palace, was restored and proved Jurgen Klopp's previous assertion that no-one is getting rid of his side in this most enthralling of races.

Jordan Henderson and Virgiil Van Dijk have been speaking to Sky Sports after the game: 

Van Dijk on the significance of the win: 

"Five years ago doesn't matter today. It was a totally different game and circumstances. We showed great things during the game, and overall we're very happy with the three points."

On playing against Eden Hazard:

"I like to play against the best players in the world, and he's right up there. But today we managed to put them under a lot of pressure, so all credit to us. 

On the title race:

"We just focus on our games, so we'll see. I'm always happy when my team wins!"

Henderson on what Jurgen Klopp said at half-time:

"Can't tell you that! But no it was just to keep going, Keep creating chances. I thought second-half there was a period where we blew them away."

On the title race:

"It's a big win for us. Important game. We have to just concentrate on ourselves, keep working on the training pitch. We have a few big games coming up..."

Henderson then receives the man-of-the-match award, much to his surprise!
