Chelsea's Premier League title hopes were given a slight reality check by reigning championsLiverpool as the 10-man Blues lost 2-0 at home to the Reds. Sadio Mane's second-half brace put the away team to the sword.
His penalty miss summed up an afternoon that Chelsea would much rather forget.
N'Golo Kante - 7
Busy as always in the Chelsea midfield but could not make up for the extra man.
Mateo Kovacic - 6
A few wayward passes showed signs of rustiness. Tried thanklessly to deal with extra man.
Mason Mount - 7
Looked like a young player determined that the summer signings would not rob him of a place.
Kai Havertz - 6
Looked alert and keen to make his presence felt, in a more promising display than his debut.
Timo Werner - 6
Horrendous sliced miss in the first half, though he was offside. Won the penalty that Jorginho missed.
