Liverpool picked up a thrilling 5-3 win against Chelsea in the Premier League earlier.

The Reds were handed their first Premier League title after the game and Jurgen Klopp’s men ensured that it was a memorable outing. 

Naby Keita handed the home side their lead midway through the first half after a sensational long range effort.

The lead was doubled by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s outstanding freekick. Although there were some doubts regarding the legitimacy of the foul that led to the freekick, Liverpool made the most of that chance.

Gini Wijnaldum took advantage of a poor corner clearance and thumped home Liverpool’s third of the game.

Chelsea’s condition went from bad to worse as Roberto Firmino headed in Liverpool’s fourth of the night and his first Anfield goal of the season. 

Frank Lampard decided to change the game with a triple substitution and it paid off big time. The Blues brought on Pulisic, Abraham and Hudson-Odoi. 

Pulisic and Abraham combined to score Chelsea’s second goal and the American winger thumped in Chelsea’s third soon after.

With the game looking too close to call, Liverpool took advantage of a counter and finished off the game in style. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored the fifth of the night for Liverpool. 

Chelsea now go into the final game of the season needing a point to qualify for the Champions League next season. The Blues will take on Wolves away from home in a crunch encounter.
