Last night's action: Not many teams will out-run Antonio Conte’s Chelsea this season but, on this evidence, not many will finish ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League either. This was their third league win and, after putting four past both Arsenal and Leicester City, their third big scalp. They should have beaten Tottenham Hotspur too, which is why, five games in and in fourth place, they already look like a very serious team.

This was a draining game under lights, a game that took every last joule of Liverpool energy to win. They controlled most of it, including a dominant first-half performance when they made Chelsea look unusually slow, soft and unable to get a foothold in the game. It was in that first half when Liverpool scored both of their goals, one routine from Dejan Lovren, one brilliant from Jordan Henderson.
