Liverpool 5-3 Chelsea | Reds Lift Title 🏆 | Classic Premier League Highlights

This night will end with a red ribbons trophy in the air. But before then, for Chelsea, certainly a contest of consequence from Chelsea now. The ultimate compliment. So rangerly towards James. It's a super pass of Williams ahead of him and Robertson's got a problem. And James can deliver and it's flicked over by Mason Mount. Yeah, it looks like Chelsea are going to try and use the diagonal to try and stretch Liverpool and just try and keep the width in their play. Liverpool playing with a purpose which suggests they want to put on a show on party night. Here's James for the blues. Rhys James has thundered one into the cup. Yeah, well, we saw an example of that at Wembley, too, that he can unleash. William couldn't keep it. Naby Keita's hit an absolute peach. Wow, that flew. That is the strike of a heavyweight champion. Well, it's out of the blue, really. It's a loose one from William. It just got away from there with Keita trying to steal it from him. Here's Salah taking on Rüdiger and ripping beyond him and then rolling it faced by a prohibitive angle into the side netting. He did well to make up the ground, Rüdiger, because for a moment you're thinking he's he's going to be skinned here. Sane Amane stopped by Kovacic, who's not happy at the way he's gone to ground. Alexander-Arnold has come up with an absolute pearler. Just beautiful. It is just beautiful. How good is he at that? By Robertson has thumped it into the roof. And Liverpool are three men up. A luxuriant first half from the champions, whose smile grows broader minute by minute. Mount, Kovacic, it's Piliqueta, kept alive by Mount. Protected by Alonso for William and poked home by Giroud. And Chelsea restore their interest in the game and what a game. Well, Alisson made a very good save amongst all of that, but this time not hitting it with his left foot. And Mount is able to get something better. And even though it was deflected, Alonso got the flick on. And it was Willian then who drew the save. Fried blue touch paper tonight, there's Salah. It's a lovely touch from Firmino. Here is Mo Salah for Liverpool. Was it really Mo Salah for Liverpool? I think it was. Well, we've seen better finishes against Chelsea from him. And it just beautifully worked with the little flick from Salah and then the return from Firmino. Fabinho, Gomez for Alexander-Arnold, Firmino! Has his Anfield goal in front of the Kop. Oh, that it was there to embrace it. After 13 Premier League games without a goal, he chooses party night. Here is Salah for Liverpool, Firmino alongside. Salah looked to go himself. Zouma's very presence was enough to deny him a clean hit. Well, he either needed to poke it to Firmino and allow him to find the net again, or he needed to take it just slightly earlier. Zouma. Pulisic, oh, he's got away from Gomez. It's Pulisic, it's Abraham, it's 4-2. And there's a high-impact substitution or two. There's an impression. This is absolutely brilliant from Christian Pulisic, because he said often, you're thinking, well, he's going to be shut down. And I think he actually squeezes it through Gomez's legs as well. Kovacic. Giorgino feeding Rhys James. And James has seen Pulisic, and Christian Pulisic has pulled his shot wide. And I have a feeling he had timed his run immaculately here. Well, he did, because it was Abraham who had actually strayed into an offside position. Chance to refresh and regenerate and re-motivate. Try to come again, but here's Hudson-Odoi for Chelsea. Aimed in for Christian Pulisic, who swindled and scored. And now we've got a climax. Chelsea's All-American superstar has flown off the bench and is threatening to turn the game. Well, just look at the mix-up we see here between both Van Dijk and Gomez. There's no communication. They clatter into one another, and Hudson-Odoi is able to take it on. I'm thinking he's going to head it here, Pulisic, but you've got to give him a lot of credit. James with the take. James with the cushion ball for Mane. And Liverpool with the intent to counter here. Robertson galloping away from Jorginho. Jones is through the middle. It came to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who rocketed in a fifth for the champions. End-to-end in a flash. Liverpool in microcosm. It's another smashing goal on a smashing night. Well, you know, you often say it that when Liverpool are defending a free kick or a corner, then teams are at their most vulnerable because Liverpool can break so quickly. Robertson does really well here to avoid the challenge. Hooked in by Robertson, Van Dijk had escaped Rüdiger, and from a yard and a half out, albeit from a tight angle, he managed to lift it over the bar. What a treat. What a treat. And for Liverpool, the best bit is still to come. They have won a festival of a football match by five goals, some of them brilliant goals to three. For the first time in the Premier League, in the never-to-be-forgotten year of 2020, the champions of England, again at last, are Liverpool.
