Liverpool held off a spirited Chelsea fightback to earn a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge on Friday night.
Antonio Conte’s men had come from behind to claim points in two matches already this season, but Dejan Lovren’s volley and a stunning Jordan Henderson strike meant Diego Costa’s goal was too little, too late for the hosts.
Lovren put Liverpool in front on 17 minutes when he volleyed into the far left corner of Thibaut Courtois’ goal after a deep cross from Philippe Coutinho.
And captain Henderson added a second with a sublime effort from long distance, curling into the top corner and leaving Courtois with no chance.
Chelsea, who handed David Luiz a first appearance since returning to the club, pulled one back when Costa struck from close range on 61 minutes.
But the Blues could not find a leveller, ending their unbeaten start to the campaign and Conte’s 21-match winning streak in home league matches as a manager.
Liverpool dejo fuera de circulacion el espiritu del nuevo Chelsea de remontar resultados, y ante su propio publico, en pleno Stamfod Bridge ante mas de 41 mil aficionados y en el primer partido de la quinta fecha de la Premier League, los venció 1-2.
Los de Antonio Conte habian remontado resultado en dos partidos esta temporada, pero Dejan Lovren con una volea espectacular y Jordan Henderson a los 17 y 36 minutos, adelantaron a Liverpool, Diego Costa desconto a los 61 pero no alcanzo para la remontada.

Los de Antonio Conte perdieron el invicto en la liga y los 21 partidos invicto del tecnico italiano en calidad de local.
