Liverpool on record losing streak after defeat to Chelsea

Mason Mount's first-half strike was enough to secure the three points for Thomas Tuchel's team in the Premier League clash at Anfield.

Ten games into the Thomas Tuchel era, Chelsea remain unbeaten and literally impossible to beat. Southampton’s Takumi Minamino, on loan from Liverpool, ironically, remains the only player to have been able to score on Tuchel’s defense. Liverpool could’ve used him today, with Christensen, Rudiger & Co marshaling their vaunted front three, as well as a returning Diogo Jota, with relative ease.

And, as Liverpool's misery continued, their most recent loss made club history in the worst possible way.

The Reds are the first Premier League title holders to lose five home matches in a row

“I am very, very happy with the performance. It was clear we needed a complete performance in all aspects of the game. We did this, we were very brave with the ball and never lost intensity with the ball. We were always aggressive and very brave. This was the key. It was a top team performance and a deserved win.”

“We played with courage, had excellent moments with the ball, had moments we needed to suffer. Never lost the attitude and desire and a deserved win and big performance. It was a very good team performance. They ask you a lot of questions and we need to have the answers.

“Everyone was very brave and everyone was sharp. It is a six-point game because the others lose. The race is on, there are still 11 games to go. We go step by step. We can never rest and never celebrate, there is no time.”
