Both the teams had a great game but neither of them was able to find the winning goal and thus they had to satisfy themselves with a single point. Manchester City has now 10 points clear of Chelsea and 11 of Liverpool in the Premier League points table. However, Jurgen Klopp\u2019s men still have one game in hand.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about this game, Liverpool and Chelsea both had an amazing first-half with all the goals which were scored in this game, came in this half only. Liverpool started the game very well as they were 1-0 up inside 10 minutes. Liverpool\u2019s forward Sadio Mane scored the opening goal of this game after Chelsea\u2019s defender Trevoh Chalobah made a mistake and gave the ball away to the Reds\u2019 forward. After that goal, Chelsea was in the front foot at Stamford Bridge as they had the ball for most of the time but couldn\u2019t find an equalizer. In the 26th minute, Jurgen Klopp\u2019s men found another goal and their lead was double now. It was the man in form, Mohamed Salah with an emphatic finish that beat Chelsea\u2019s goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An instant <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PL?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PL<\/a> classic at Stamford Bridge!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd35 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CHELIV?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CHELIV<\/a> \ud83d\udd34 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XGeMFy4FGa\">pic.twitter.com\/XGeMFy4FGa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Premier League (@premierleague) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/premierleague\/status\/1477707491823833090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 2, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea was two goals behind after Salah\u2019s amazing finish but they never gave up and kept on attacking.
