Arne Slot’s Liverpool held off a spirited Chelsea side to win 2-1 at Anfield and reclaim top spot in the Premier League.

Chelsea enjoyed a strong start to the game but hosts Liverpool made the breakthrough in 29th minute, with Mohamed Salah converting from the spot after Levi Colwill had tripped Curtis Jones inside the penalty area.

Nicolas Jackson equalised just moments after the restart, only for Jones to score his Premier League league goal since New Year’s Day to restore Liverpool’s lead just three minutes later.

Cole Palmer, Renato Veiga and Christopher Nkunku had chances to equalise for the Blues but the 51st-minute strike from Jones – who was deservedly named man of the match – proved to be the winner for Liverpool on Merseyside.

The result saw the Reds take a one-point lead over Manchester City at the summit after Pep Guardiola’s champions won 2-1 away to Molineux in Sunday’s earlier contest.
