LONDON – Conor Bradley had the Anfield crowd singing his name after a goal and two assists, as Liverpool stamped their title credentials with a 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea on Jan 31 that manager Jurgen Klopp called “outstanding”. “I don’t think you can have an outstanding team performance when the individuals don’t work together,” he told the BBC. Liverpool will play Chelsea again in the League Cup final on Feb 25 and Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted that his side need to improve. Liverpool’s third did not take long to arrive after the break, as another purposeful run and pinpoint cross from Bradley picked out Dominik Szoboszlai to head home. Chelsea grabbed a consolation through Christopher Nkunku, before Luis Diaz made it 4-1 for the Reds to end the day on a high.
