(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Curtis Jones struck Liverpool’s winner in a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Anfield to keep Arne Slot’s side top of the Premier League table on Sunday.

Mohamed Salah’s 29th-minute penalty put the hosts in front against the run of play but Chelsea leveled after the break as Nicolas Jackson was played through to score.

Chelsea were not level for long though as midfielder Jones got on the end of Salah’s low cross to beat visiting keeper Robert Sanchez from close range.

Liverpool have 21 points from eight games, one more than second-placed Manchester City who beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 earlier.

Chelsea stayed in sixth place with 14 points.
