Conte Demands Focus After Chelsea’s Loss To Liverpool

Diego Costa continued his impressive form with his fifth goal in as many games, but it was only enough to be termed as a consolation.

Only a surprise defeat at Burnley blots Liverpool’s early record but Lovren believes talk of a first league title in 27 years is premature. We just have to keep it up.

“We played football like hell, it was really nice to watch”, said the German. “We have to prove it every day, and that’s our job”, Klopp added.

“When you want to think like a great team you must pay attention in every moment”.

“It was great for him personally and incredible for the team because it helped us to get the three points”.

– Since Jurgen Klopp took charge of his first game, Liverpool have scored 15 Premier League goals from outside the box, five more than any other side in that time. “We controlled our football”.

Chelsea’s first defeat of the season came against familiar opponents, as Liverpool managed to get the better at Stamford Bridge once again.

The English midfielder struck a sublime looping effort from 25 yards out which eluded the outstretched hands of Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and nestled into the back of the net.

The Blues visit the King Power Stadium in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night before making the short trip to north London to take on the Gunners next Saturday in the league.

“Two weeks ago everybody was asking what’s wrong with Liverpool in the transfer market – why have they not got five midfielders and eight new left-backs – but now these boys are starting in one of the most hard fixtures in football, and we deserve the result tonight”, he added. It’s important to understand that every single game is very tough and we mustn’t forget last season.

Alexis Sanchez scored twice as Arsenal secured three consecutive Premier League wins for the first time in nine months with a 4-1 victory at Hull City. First half we didn’t have the duels, we didn’t have the second ball, everything was for them.

Liverpool controlled possession and Chelsea appeared happy to sit back and soak up the pressure, but they were caught out by a quick free-kick in the 17th minute.

“It was satisfying of course, the first half especially was brilliant – we played football like hell”, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told United Kingdom broadcaster Sky Sports after his side joined third-placed Chelsea on 10 points from five games.
