Liverpool exorcised the ghosts of 2014 with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea to keep their Premier League title charge on track.

Sadio Mane's header early in the second half was followed moments later by a goal-of-the-season contender from Mohamed Salah and, after two uncharacteristic misses by Eden Hazard, the Reds regained the top spot they had lost 90 minutes earlier to Manchester City.

Salah's goal was worthy of winning a title let alone a game, but for now Liverpool will settle for the latter. A two-point lead over City, winners at Crystal Palace, was restored and proved Jurgen Klopp's previous assertion that no-one is getting rid of his side in this most enthralling of races.

Mo Salah was playing in blue during that famous clash five years ago, how times have changed...

The players are now lining up in the centre-circle ahead of a minute's silence in memory of the 96 people who died at Hillsborough in 1989, with mosaics of '30 years' in the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand, and '96' in the Kop.

The minute silence impeccably observed, by both sets of fans.

Fast start from Liverpool, with Kepa already throwing the ball out inaccurately.

Eden Hazard, who is playing as a lone frontman today, is caught offside after being found in behind.

First chance for Mo Salah!

Mane out on the left chips the ball to the back post, and Mo Salah strikes it cleanly on the volley but it's straight at Kepa!

Good opportunity for the Egyptian.

Eden Hazard is down here, after being caught by Fabinho, but the Brazilian won the ball first so no free-kick given. 

Hazard is now receiving treatment.

Hazard is ok and is back on. 

Pretty fast start to the game by both sides.

13 minutes: Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea

A chipped ball into the box by Salah almost finds Mane, but Kepa anticipates it and comes to collect.
