Chelsea exploded out of the blocks with a goal inside four minutes, with Ramires heading in from Cesar Azpilicueta's deflected cross.

Liverpool dominated possession for long periods of the second half and scored a deserved equaliser deep into first time stoppage time when Coutinho found the net with a brilliant strike. Cutting onto his left foot on the edge of the box, the Brazilian curled a wonderful shot into the top corner to leave Jose Mourinho’s half time team talk in tatters.

Chelsea rarely threatened in the second half and Liverpool, who should have had Lucas Leiva sent off for two yellow cards, turned the tables on Chelsea with the crucial third goal, created by Christian Benteke’s nod down and finished by Coutinho for his second.

Benteke, a second half substitute, capped his fine cameo with the third goal – finishing low into the bottom corner after Adam Lallana’s clever dummy wrong footed the Chelsea defence.

The defeat leaves Chelsea languishing just above the relegation zone and plunges Chelsea and Jose Mourinho even deeper into crisis.
