Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Diaz goal and Nkunku penalty appeal

65 mins: Wonderful goal!

Virgil van Dijk switches the play out to the right wing where Conor Bradley takes a touch and flies down the line. He whips a cross into the middle of the box where Dominik Szoboszlai leaps for the ball and blazes a header into the back of the net!

63 mins: Close! That would have been a superb goal. A dainty pass comes to the edge of the box where Dominik Szoboszlai steps over the ball and lets it run through to Darwin Nunez.

He takes a touch and shoots one more but pings this effort into the arms of Petrovic. It will be criminal if Nunez doesn’t score tonight, he’s had so many chances.

60 mins: Chelsea had a decent spell just after the restart but Liverpool are bouncing back. They’re seeing more of the ball again but this time Chelsea are more secure at the back and have players available to close off runs into the penalty area.

57 mins: Enzo Fernandez pokes the ball away from Curtis Jones but Diogo Jota is sharp and recovers it by dispossessing Moises Caicedo.

He shoots from outside the box and wins Liverpool a corner which comes to nothing.

54 mins: Nkunku tries to get stuck into a battle with Bradley following a forward pass from Sterling. The forward looks to spin into the penalty area but the defender blocks him off and takes the ball.

Nkunku works hard, shoulder-to-shoulder, to get it back but Bradley’s strength is enough to hold him off and win Liverpool a free kick.

51 mins: Close!

Chelsea create the best chance of their night with a quick break and a squared pass across the penalty area. The Liverpool defenders are beaten but Mykhailo Mudryk lifts his first time shot high and wide!

48 mins: Another Darwin Nunez shot is blocked and the ball deflects over to Moises Caicedo. He lifts a diagonal pass across to Raheem Sterling who holds up play before dinking a pass into the area for Christopher Nkunku.

The ball lands over the top of the striker’s head and Alisson comes out to claim the ball.

Chelsea get the match back underway with Mauricio Pochettino having made a few changes. Ben Chilwell, Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher have all been taken off with Myhailo Mudryk, Malo Gusto and Christopher Nkunku coming on.

Darwin Nunez has hit the woodwork 7 times in the Premier League this season, more than twice as many times as any other player.

Liverpool created 15 attempts at goal in the first half with six of them on target. Chelsea in comparison only managed one.
