Hazard was easily the most eye-catching performer here, even though Mohamed Salah’s goal against his former club threatened to secure the points until Willian’s late equaliser. He adopts a more forward role than De Bruyne, who this season has been playing from the back of midfield. He is a classic No10 who likes to operate just behind the point of attack, although most of the time, especially when Chelsea are playing away, Hazard is the point of attack. Mignolet saved, but had the chance fallen to Álvaro Morata Chelsea would probably have gone in front. Of the two former Chelsea players Liverpool had up front, Salah was much more involved than Daniel Sturridge, wafting an ambitious shot wide early on but gradually finding his range.
