In three trips to the city in the first five rounds of the English Premier League, Liverpool are still unbeaten after comfortably accounting for Chelsea 2-1 on Friday. Having won at Arsenal and drawn at Tottenham, Liverpool ended Chelsea’s unbeaten start in the league at Stamford Bridge, where the visitors posted consecutive wins for only the second time in 40 years. Liverpool, more energetic and inventive, were 2-0 up in about 30 minutes and controlled proceedings for an hour. Not until Diego Costa put Chelsea on the scoreboard did the match begin to feel competitive, but not for long, as Liverpool weathered Chelsea briefly coming out of their slumber, and returned to smothering the Blues. And the second Chelsea debut for expensive defender David Luiz finished like his first in 2011; a home loss to Liverpool.
