Chelsea had a goal scored by Kai Havertz ruled out for offside early on and there were promising flashes from new 100 million euro signing Mykhailo Mudryk off the bench.Liverpool edge up to eighth, above Brentford on goal difference. Graham Potter’s men had the ball in the net after just three minutes when Havertz slotted in after Thiago Silva hit the post from a corner.Cody Gakpo twice blazed over with Liverpool’s two best sights of goal before the break, but it was the visitors who came closest to breaking the deadlock when Benoit Badiashile’s header was well saved by Alisson Becker from another dangerous set-piece.
Mudryk was made to wait for his debut, but the Ukrainian’s introduction 10 minutes into the second half sparked Chelsea into life as he fired into the side-netting after some quick footwork.
