Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunez made history in the Premier League as Liverpool cruised to a 4-1 win against Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
Liverpool clinched their 15th victory in 22 league matches, maintaining their position atop the Premier League table with 51 points.
They hold a five-point lead over both Manchester City and Arsenal, who sit in second and third place, respectively.
The scoring commenced with a remarkable solo effort from Diogo Jota, followed by Conor Bradley’s maiden senior goal for Liverpool, leaving Chelsea trailing at halftime for the first time in the Premier League this season.
In Jurgen Klopp’s inaugural league match since announcing his departure at the season’s end, Dominic Szoboszlai netted a header, adding to Liverpool’s tally in the second half.
Although Christopher Nkunku pulled one back for Mauricio Pochettino’s side and was unlucky not to receive a penalty shortly after, Luis Diaz sealed the deal with the fourth goal, dashing any hopes of a Chelsea comeback.
The result leaves Chelsea in the 10th spot in the table, with their primary chance for a successful season likely resting in the upcoming Carabao Cup final next month.
However, their task at Wembley will be daunting, as they face the formidable Liverpool, who maintain a five-point lead at the summit.
