Felipe Anderson's early strike, a Victor Lindelof own-goal and Marko Arnautovic's finish left United manager Jose Mourinho increasingly feeling the heat.
The drama at Old Trafford is rapidly turning into a crisis as United equalled their worst start to a Premier League season with just 10 points from their opening seven matches.
Here's how it played out:
Please allow a moment for the blog to load
68: Hazard tangles with Henderson and ends up in a heap in the penalty area. The fans call for a penalty, but the referee having none of it. It seemed like more of a coming together than a foul.
70: Oh no. Ohhh nooo. How has Shaqiri not scored?
Robertson curls a low cross from deep and Shaqiri is in space to tap home in front of goal, but he tires to be too precise and his delicate touch goes wide.
72: Off the line again!
Milner stands up a cross to the middle and Firmino heads down beyond Kepa, but the ball is turned away by David Luiz from the line. He's saved Chelsea there.
73: Victor Moses comes on for Willian as Chelsea attempt to reduce the regularity of Liverpool's chances.
77: Milner matches Moses as he breaks forward and brings him down to stop a three vs three situation.
78: Jordan Henderson is coming off from Naby Keita and the Liverpool skipper is seemingly disappointed to be leaving the pitch with his side down. Ross Barkley also comes on for Mateo Kovacic for Chelsea.
82: Wijnaldum plays a blind pass towards his goalkeeper and Morata almost intercepts on the edge of the box.
Liverpool pushing for an equaliser but Chelsea are holding firm.
83: Liverpool win a free kick and it's Shaqiri to take....saved. It's hit straight at Kepa from the edge of the box.
