still have far to go to challenge the champions for the Premier League title as Sadio Mane took advantage of a first-half red card shown to Andreas Christensen to score both goals in a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Victory takes Liverpool level on points with Everton, Arsenal and Crystal Palace at the top of the table as the only sides with maximum points from their opening two games. Christensen bailed out Kepa from another embarrassing error as he was caught in no man's land early on but the defender got back to prevent Roberto Firmino converting Mohamed Salah's cross.
Referee Paul Tierney initially only showed a yellow card, but overturned his decision after viewing the incident on a pitchside monitor and Christensen was dismissed. Klopp instantly called for Thiago to make his debut at half-time in place of the injured Henderson and it took just five minutes in the second-half to make the breakthrough.Chelsea's spending spree is not yet over with Edouard Mendy set to join from Rennes as Lampard's patience with Kepa, who cost a world record 72 million for a goalkeeper two years ago, exhausted.
