Chelsea keeper Courtois: We couldn’t cope with Liverpool pressure

Hazard has enjoyed a resurgence in form following the Italian’s arrival at Stamford Bridge – scoring twice in four Premier League appearances at the start of the new campaign.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has admitted that his side have to learn from the mistakes they made in their 2-1 loss to Liverpool on Friday.

Diego Costa pulled a goal back for the hosts after the interval but Liverpool saw out the remainder of the contest to record another positive result.

“When you gave away two goals in this way, I think it is very hard because against Liverpool, you play against a great team”, Conte said.

First, it was a world-class finish from center back Dejan Lovren off a Coutinho assist that put them in the lead. Let us know by dropping a comment below via our Facebook comment box. He gives everything on the bench and we try to give everything on the pitch.

Klopp expressed his happiness at these tough fixture wins, but said Liverpool need to bring consistency to their game.

“It’s always the same speech [from Klopp], always positive!”

Two great teams, with a historic rivalry and managed by two of the best trainers in world football, took on each other and provided fans with a mouthwatering display of elite-level soccer.

“We played without intensity and you must pay attention to details if you want to play like a great team”. We controlled our football.

Conte’s defence last night was missing John Terry and quite clearly, it was missing any leadership perfectly summed up in Liverpool’s first goal by Lovren.

However, Hazard believes Conte will be able to get them back to winning ways.

“I don’t want to repeat a bad season like past year”, he said. The next game away at Arsenal we should try to win like last season.

He has been an integral part of Liverpool’s impressive start to the season, and if he and his teammates continue to produce performances like they have done already, there is no reason why Klopp’s men can’t mount a sustained title challenge. We created the moments, not the big chances because they defend really well and we were really quick around our goal.
