Liverpool’s captain delivered once more from a set-piece with a terrific header to put the Reds into the lead.

Virgil van Dijk beat Ben Chilwell on the jump with a perfect header from Andy Robertson’s free-kick to send the Merseysiders 1-0 up.

However, Chris Kavanagh was sent to the monitor to review the effort and ensured Chelsea were handed a let-off, disallowing the goal after Wataru Endo was adjudged to have blocked Levi Colwill.
