Chelsea boss Antonio Conte sends out warning after defeat to Liverpool
The footage also captures the truly stunned reaction of the thousands of Chelsea supporters as Henderson and his teammates sprint away to the half way line to celebrate.
Below is our live coverage of the game between Chelsea and Liverpool.
“It was really nice and it was deserved”, Klopp said.
In a dominant first-half display, Liverpool took the lead through Dejan Lovren before England midfielder Henderson curled home a superb effort from distance in the 36th minute.
Liverpool finished a lowly 8 last season, 21 points behind champions Leicester City, despite a notable improvement in the team’s style of play following Klopp’s appointment last October.
“We have 10 points”. And the second Chelsea debut for expensive defender David Luiz finished like his first in 2011, a home loss to Liverpool.
Conte also praised the way Liverpool put pressure on his side, making Chelsea’s life very hard trying to build threatening attacks. “We just have to do it every week, every three days”.
“We have so many players here on the bench that can make a difference, we have a brilliant squad, the 25 players here, even those in the stand are top players”.
Liverpool secured their second big win in London this season, with Jurgen Klopp’s Reds adding a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge to their 4-3 opening day win away at Arsenal.
Lovren was unmarked when he received Philippe Coutinho’s cross before slotting it into the goal.
“It’s important to understand that every game is tough and we mustn’t forget last season”. “He’s a hard-worker and he’s still a young lad and a lot of pressure on his shoulders, and we are helping him to learn how to handle it and he’s getting better and better and better”.
Conte sent a warning to his players that they will need to improve defensively if they are to succeed under his management. “We had some chances to draw but it was too late”.
“I’m the coach, so I must work more on this aspect”. Now it’s not enough because it’s not the first time this happened.
Chelsea, sure to have been blasted at halftime by manager Antonio Conte, started the second spell better, with Nemanja Matic tiptoeing along the byline, and dinking the ball inside for a leaping Costa to volley in for his league-leading fifth goal in five games. Making only his third Premier League appearance for Liverpool, Matip already looks the real deal at this level.
